NDIS FRAUD CRACKDOWN COMING!
The Albanese Government is moving to give the NDIS Commission tough new powers to tackle fraud and dodgy providers in the $50 billion National Disability Insurance Scheme.
Under the proposed laws, the Commission could:
• Ban auditors and consultants giving fraudulent advice
• Stop dishonest providers from promoting their services
• Strengthen penalties and boost info-sharing between agencies
NDIS Minister Jenny McAllister said weak prevention controls have cost the scheme tens of millions, with some claims once paid automatically — no checks, no evidence.
The reforms come alongside new funding and a national taskforce targeting fraud, overcharging, and fake providers.
However, tensions are rising. State and territory ministers even threatened to boycott recent NDIS talks over limited input in meetings.
The goal: protect participants, restore trust, and keep the NDIS sustainable for the future.
