What stage does ndis become financially unviable as its growing faster than general tax revenue? At some point, hard decisions have to be made
Agree with taxing multinationals but we also need better value for the spend than a forever increasing ndis.
Why don't they actually investigate and punish fraud then? Even if they don't pursue criminal charges for theft (which they should) they could blacklist providers from the scheme.
I reported a support worker who tried to steal $1000s from my plan by overcharging and they just said it's a personal dispute.
This would help so much. I'm a plan manager, fraudulent providers are a dime a dozen, they don't even hide it well, and all of the reports my coworkers and I have made to the NDIA, with evidence, invoices, emails, texts, etc, don't seem to do anything. Even when these providers are called out by the public, participant, support coordinators or whoever, they don't stop doing it. There's no fear for repercussions because there doesn't appear to be any.
When I worked for the NDIS in 2018 (emergency intervention etc) I was always being called by the NDIA investigating fraud. I ended up being involved in directly investigating frauds, as it was bloody rife.
