NDIS Provider Director Charged Over Alleged $3.5 Million Laundering Scheme

Investigators say fraudulent NDIS claims funded repeated cash withdrawals, with the 31-year-old due in Downing Centre Local Court.

Overview

  • The Villawood man is expected in court today on a charge of dealing in money reasonably suspected to be proceeds of an indictable crime of $1 million or more.
  • The Fraud Fusion Taskforce began its probe in February 2025 after financial anomalies were detected, alleging activity across 2022 to 2025.
  • Police executing a December search warrant at a Villawood unit seized about $35,000 in cash along with an air rifle and gel blasters.
  • Authorities allege the funds flowed from fraudulent NDIS claims, including instances where supports were not delivered to participants.
  • The NDIA has issued a notice to ban the individual and his provider from the scheme, and officials say the accused faces up to four years in prison if convicted.
