 (a) for 2023, $10,184,843;
 (b) for 2024, $13,343,418; and
 (c) for 2025, the amount that is determined by multiplying $13,143,418 with the indexation factor (within the meaning of subsection 198-15(1) of the Act) for 2025 (the 2025 DSP Grants Total);
 (d) for all future years, the 2025 DSP Grants total as indexed under section 40.
 (2) The total amount of funding available for the Disability Support Fund (the DSF yearly total) is:
  (a) for 2023, the amount in paragraph (1)(a), less the amount allocated to the Australian Disability Clearinghouse on Education and Training under section 45 (the ADCET amount) for that year;
 (b) for 2024, the amount in paragraph (1)(b), less the ADCET amount for that year;
 (c) for 2025, the amount in paragraph (1)(c), less the ADCET amount for that year; and

 (ii) the number of domestic students with disability enrolled at all Table A providers in the most recent year for which data is available (based on data reported by all Table A providers through TCSI as at the last quarter of the year prior to the year to which the grant relates); and
 (b) multiplying the result of (a) by 55 percent of the DSF yearly total (as mentioned in subsection (2)) (the enrolments-based grant pool)).
