The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides eligible Australians who have a permanent or significant disability with funding to assist them in their daily life.

Developed in collaboration with National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA), this financial crime guide will help the financial services sector to identify, monitor and report suspected fraud against the NDIS.  

By identifying and reporting suspicious transactions, your business can help to detect and disrupt attempted fraud against the NDIS and ensure vital financial support reaches Australians living with a disability.

Download and read the NDIS fraud financial crime guide (PDF, 1.53MB).

This guidance sets out how we interpret the Act, along with associated Rules and regulations. Australian courts are ultimately responsible for interpreting these laws and determining if any provisions of these laws are contravened. 

The examples and scenarios in this guidance are meant to help explain our interpretation of these laws. They’re not exhaustive or meant to cover every possible scenario.

This guidance provides general information and isn't a substitute for legal advice. This guidance avoids legal language wherever possible and it might include generalisations about the application of the law. Some provisions of the law referred to have exceptions or important qualifications. In most cases your particular circumstances must be taken into account when determining how the law applies to you.
