New NDIS Fraud Online Tip-Off Form
At Lifely, we’re dedicated to ensuring the integrity of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and safeguarding the interests of our participants. That’s why we’re excited to share news of a recent development by the NDIS that aims to enhance the reporting of suspected fraud and non-compliance.
The NDIS has introduced a new online tip-off form, making it easier than ever to report suspicious behaviour. You can access the form directly from the NDIS website’s report suspicious behaviour page.
What Does the Online Tip-Off Form Do?*
The new form streamlines the reporting process by asking relevant and direct questions about the suspected fraud. This ensures that NDIA staff get all the necessary information to take appropriate action promptly.
In addition, the online tip-off form provides users with a reference ID upon submission, facilitating efficient follow-up by the agency. It maintains the option for individuals to report anonymously, prioritising confidentiality.
The new form improves on data capture, enabling the agency to effectively investigate and address reported incidents. By tracking data trends, the NDIS can allocate resources strategically to combat fraud, enhancing the Scheme’s sustainability and security.
Do I Have to Use the New Form?
While the new online tip-off form is the preferred method for reporting fraud, there is no wrong way to report suspicious activity. However, using the online form ensures the most relevant information reaches our staff promptly, facilitating swift action.
Alternatively, people can still report fraud by contacting the NDIS Fraud Reporting and Scams Helpline on 1800 650 717.
No Need for Duplicate Submissions
If you’ve already reported information to the NDIA, there’s no need to resubmit it using the new form.
