With regards to the NDIS, I know of people personally who are in desperate need of funding with REAL case situations. People who have serious physical and mental abnormalities and cannot operate basic chores in their personal lives, yet they are ignored and brushed off no matter how many times the parents get doctors referrals and legitimate documentation from specialists to prove so. They actually are screaming for help.
On the other hand, I know first hand of a group of people who are involved in clique networking groups who have 'clients' who are on the scheme but are using it for dubious means. These individuals are working the system to get paid a lot of money from the tax payer to accommodate clients requests that could be considered as irrelevant or non admissible.
One true first hand example: NDIS paid person is getting paid $50 per hour plus call out fee to go pick up Mcdonald's for NDIS client because it wouldn't cost the client personally to use as opposed to getting it delivered via Uber. The Paid worker then puts in said claim to NDIS manager who is a 'friend' and they turn a blind eye to the legitimacy of the request and pay it.
