The IGA sets out base funding and indexation arrangements for each SPP as well as the transition to a population-based distribution (the Schools SPP population share is based on student enrolment in government schools). Per capita-based distributions will be achieved for the disability SPP and the NHR by 2013-14 and the remainder by 2014-15.
