About allocated places for STRC

We are not allocating any new STRC places but places can be transferred between providers or subcontracted. 

Revocation of STRC places

If you do not use an allocated place for 6 months, we may revoke it.

Transferring STRC places

You must submit the notice to our office in your state or territory no later than:
