The National Disability Insurance Scheme was designed with the best intentions to help those who need help and as is to be expected when the government actually provides a service that will benefit.
We had a similar situation during the Rudd government with the house insulation scheme that was profited from by dodgey installers.
Here with the world first NDIS, providers have rorted the system, making bank while recipients don’t get what they need.
To be honest, while these providers should face legal and criminal charges for rorting all Australian taxpayers, the government should have predicted that fraudulent operators would try to profit from the NDIS. But how do you adequately balance offering government funded services with protecting the scheme from fraud?
