Over $5Bn annually in NDIS could be fraud according to the Head of Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission.

The Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission boss Michael Phelan claims that 15-20% (~$5Bn) annually in National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) funding could be fraud. In June 2022, the NDIS paid out $27Bn for the year. As tax payers, we expect the funding to support participants of the scheme who are the most vulnerable in our community.

Gobbill as a registered NDIS provider, supports thousands of participants, nominees and their providers by facilitating valid NDIS claims and payments. We use our technology to prevent and detect fraud – hence protecting the NDIS budgets of our clients with disabilities.

A joint investigation by 60 MINUTES, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, has found that the NDIS money has proven an irresistible magnet for criminals. It’s a sad reality of life that some truly awful people walk among us. However, the title of “most despicable” must surely go to members of the organised crime networks who have been targeting vulnerable Australians in order to rip off the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

The NDIS is wanting to invest in an ability to detect, prevent and respond to fraud and non-compliant behaviour as the Scheme continues to grow.

Gobbill NDIS featured in Accounting Technician magazine

The disability sector has been shaken up since the introduction and continual roll-out of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), Australia’s first national scheme to support people with permanent and significant disability. The purpose of the NDIS is to allocate funding to participants so that they have more control and choice over where they direct their spending.

There are around 4.3 million Australians who have a disability. Currently, there are 277,000 NDIS participants and the number is expected to double next year as the scheme rollout continues. The 2019-20 Federal Budget estimated that $23 billion in annual payments will be processed through the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA).

This has created a myriad of challenges and opportunities – one of which is to assist NDIS participants to manage their claiming and payment of their services related to NDIS funded support activities. Find out more how Gobbill supports self-managed participants and plan managers in managing budgets, invoices and payments.
