Australian Federal Police have charged a 48-year-old woman in Adelaide over an alleged scheme involving more than $5 million linked to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Multiple outlets report that the accused is alleged to have used privileged access to NDIS records connected to a disability services provider to support fraudulent claims.
The allegations centre on claims submitted against plans held by family members of the accused, according to reports from 7News Australia and ABC Australia. The West Australian and PerthNow similarly describe the conduct as an alleged misuse of insider access to generate or submit fraudulent information for payment purposes.
The charged matter is described consistently across sources as an alleged plot targeting the NDIS and related services, with the total value of the alleged fraud reported as approximately $5 million. The reports do not indicate any outcome in court, and the charges are presented as allegations pending legal process.
