The Fraud Fusion Taskforce (FFT) has revolutionised the fight against criminals who try to steal government payments from those who need it most. In the two years since its inception, the FFT has launched more than 500 investigations and referred 50 people to court accused of ripping off millions of dollars from people with disability and Australian taxpayers. Set up by Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and Government Services the Hon. Bill Shorten MP in late 2022, the FFT has stopped more than $60 million in estimated fraud, with billions in NDIS payments alone currently under investigation.
