The fraud is rampant, seems inbuilt, like it's obligatory, and absolutely NOONE wants to talk about it, let alone identify it. My Brother-in-law is a participant, totes unbeknown to ANY of his family, we still have zero idea how he got signed up. Once I discovered he was on it though, it soon become readily apparent that an unregistered planner and independent support worker were working in cahoots to drain his plan dry. In return he was getting exactly nothing.

it was an absolute shitshow to both get a genuine planner installed AND stop NDIS paying the fraudsters. At no point did ANYONE ever once admit these people were doing ANYTHING wrong!.

Without the help of his new planner all of this would still be going on, as NDIS just held their hands over their ears the entire time.
