This year, the National Disability Insurance Scheme has banned a record number of what officials refer to as "shonks." These include individuals, registered providers, and unregistered providers who have been banned for committing fraud. Between April and June, the Quality and Standards Commission issued 111 banning orders, while also revoking the registration of around 450 existing providers.
NDIS Minister Jenny McAllister expressed openness to discussing additional measures with the opposition to strengthen the NDIS's capacity to combat fraud.
