Compliance and enforcement actions

On 11 January 2023, a banning order was issued under sections 73ZN(1)(b)(i) and 73ZN(1)(b)(iii) of the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013, permanently prohibiting A.C.N. 615 641 079 Pty Ltd from providing NDIS supports and services to people with disability, effective from 5:00 pm on 19 January 2023. 

The banning order was issued on grounds provided under sections 73ZN(1)(b)(i) and 73ZN(1)(b)(iii) of the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013, in that a delegate of the NDIS Commissioner has formed a reasonable belief that A.C.N. 615 641 079 Pty Ltd has breached the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013 and is not suitable to be involved in providing supports or services to people with disability. 

Conduct identified includes non-compliance with the NDIS Code of Conduct through a failure to act with integrity, honesty and transparency.  

The NDIS Commission identified conduct involving the submission of falsified and inappropriate claims for payment to the NDIS for services not delivered and in collusion with other entities and individuals, which had serious adverse effect on NDIS participants’ mental and physical wellbeing.
