Senate Passes Tough New Laws to Clean Up NDIS: Fraudsters Face Jail Time, Heavy Fines

The Senate has passed new laws to crack down on fraud and misconduct in the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). These rules impose up to five years in jail for breaking banning orders and two years for operating without registration. The laws also introduce fines of up to $400,000 for misleading ads that exploit participants. NDIS Minister Jenny McAllister emphasized that the scheme is for genuine support, not fraudulent schemes. The NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commissioner welcomed the changes, which strengthen enforcement, protect whistleblowers, and expand monitoring. The bill now heads to the House of Representatives for final approval.
