A parliamentary review by the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission reveals criminal networks submitting fake claims, billing during hospital stays or prison, and using intimidation against participants in the $50 billion NDIS program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weak screening lets banned providers return, delivering poor or no care while laundering money through cash withdrawals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the love of God, just nationalise the scheme – completely rip out all the fraudsters by just shutting down the NDIS private markets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a disaster. The current design of the scheme is a catastrophe and unfixable. You just cannot run disability welfare as a private market like this.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
