The Criminal Intelligence Commission warns that up to a fifth of NDIS spending is being rorted by exploitative providers. The ACCC will investigate complaints made by participants and carers. The federal government cracks down on illegal overcharging and launches a taskforce to address unfair price hikes.
As much as a fifth of NDIS spending is being rorted by exploitative providers , the Criminal Intelligence Commission has warned. The ACCC will begin investigating complaints made by participants and carers from today. NDIS participants being exploited by unfair price hikes can now report price gouging to a new taskforce.
The federal government has launched a crack down on illegal overcharging, led by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, which will be able to investigate providers who impose an 'NDIS 'wedding tax'' and jack up prices just because someone is on the National Disability Insurance Scheme. NDIS Minister Bill Shorten vowed to put 'shonky' providers who extorted people with a disability out of business, saying some people had made themselves millionaires by rorting taxpayer funds for disability services
