Compliance and enforcement actions

On 29 January 2026 a permanent banning order was made under section 73ZN(2)(b) of the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013 prohibiting Dwayne William SMITH from: 

• engaging in any activities that would be delivering supports and services to NDIS funded participants; or 

• engaging in activities in a non-service and non-support delivery role as a provider or worker, to the extent that those activities have a direct effect on the provision of NDIS funded supports or services to people with disability in the NDIS. 

The banning order is effective from 5:00pm AEDT on 13 February 2026 and operates across all states and territories in Australia. 

The banning order was made on the basis that Dwayne SMITH has been convicted of an offence involving fraud or dishonesty and had regard to criminal history and an NDIS Worker Screening exclusion.
