Cap NDIS per person ?, page-15

"The watchdog for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) says criminal rorting of the social service is even worse than previously feared.

In 2022, Michael Phelan, then the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission chief, warned as much as a fifth of disability funding in the NDIS was being abused by organised crime groups, prompting a government crackdown.

The NDIS has cost an estimated $44 billion this financial year, meaning at least $8 billion worth of funding intended for people with disability is allegedly being abused by crime syndicates."
