Bail granted for Sallam and Bader in alleged large-scale NDIS fraud

Paul McGirr today obtained bail for Muath Sallam and Noura Bader in an alleged large-scale fraud the AFP claims was perpetrated on the NDIS.

The federal police and National Disability Insurance Agency will allege the syndicate claimed $10m from the NDIS since 2017 through three fraudulent NDIS providers, in what is believed to be the largest exploitation of the agency in its history.

Among the operations alleged by police is that the providers skimmed NDIS funding from genuine disabled users of the scheme without their knowledge, by providing inflated invoices to the NDIS for rebates.

Mohammad Sallam, for whom Mr McGirr also appeared, adjourned his matter until 6 May for a bail application.
