‘There would be thousands of cases where participants are claiming things that are not consistent with their plan,’ NDIS integrity chief said.

Work is underway to crack down on ‘opportunists in the Australian community who see government money as an opportunity to make a quick buck,’ Shorten said.

The government will also roll out ‘foundational supports’ for all 2.5 million Australians with disability.

The latest annual financial sustainability report projects the annual cost of the NDIS will hit $89.4 billion by 2032.
