Episode Details

A Senate inquiry in Melbourne is examining proposed changes to the National Disability Insurance Scheme, with disability advocates, carers and representative groups expressing concerns about the extent and speed of reforms. The federal government maintains the changes are necessary to ensure long-term sustainability of the scheme, which supports hundreds of thousands of Australians and costs more than $50 billion annually. The inquiry will shift focus to fraud and compliance, with police and government agencies expected to provide evidence about efforts to crack down on fraudulent providers.
