Media releases

The Australian Government is helping people with intellectual disability take greater control over their finances.

The Australian Government Fraud Fusion Taskforce (FFT) has seized $176,000 in cash, silver and gold after executing five search warrants in Queensland as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into a fraud syndicate.

This is a joint media release between the Australian Federal Police and NDIA, NDIS Commission and Australian Taxation Office.

NDIA staff and partners in the community have recognised 10 years of the National Disability Insurance Scheme supporting the North Queensland community.

The Government’s National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Integrity and Safeguarding) Bill 2025 will become law after it passed the Parliament today.

A Whittlesea woman who was responsible for a daycare fraud ring and trained others in how to perpetrate the scheme has become the fifth and final person sentenced for defrauding the Commonwealth of $800,000.
