National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) participants receiving support through the world-leading reform are now better protected thanks to further $110.4 million investment from the Australian Government in the Crack Down on Fraud program, announced today.
Recognised globally on 3 December, International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD) is a United Nations day that aims to raise awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with disability.
The NDIA is inviting registered providers to respond to the Dog Guide Provider List EOI on the NDIS Website. The EOI is open from 25 November 2024 - 20 December 2024. The Agency will be evaluating each submission. The process is non-competitive, meaning each respondent meeting the criteria will be eligible for publication on the list.
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.
