Government invests millions to bolster NDIS
The Australian Government is dedicating $83.9 million in initial funding to enhance the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
The financial commitment is part of a broader effort to ensure that funds are allocated to beneficiaries within the system.
How to strengthen NDIS
Allocated to the “Crack Down on Fraud” initiative, the funding aims to strengthen IT infrastructures to protect against fraudulent activities, thereby securing resources for Australians with disabilities who depend on the NDIS.
The allocation will empower the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) to implement significant IT upgrades. These include:
- the creation of a fraud case management system to facilitate collaboration with other enforcement entities;
- the establishment of advanced IT solutions for more accurate transaction processing with partners; and
- the refinement of claim processing systems that handle over 400,000 NDIS claims each day.
The program also plans to enhance identity verification processes to bolster user safety and privacy, as well as to update the NDIS mobile app and online user interfaces.
