The Greens have accused the government of "politicising fraud" as a justification for changes to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). According to a Coalition report, the unregistered market of NDIS providers operates beyond the regulator's immediate reach. The report also highlighted entry-point screenings that can assess qualifications but not always suitability for providers.

The Greens' statement emphasized that disabled individuals are entitled to an NDIS that safeguards them from fraud while prioritizing their rights. They argue that treating NDIS participants with suspicion is unwarranted, especially when governments have not effectively addressed the exploitation of the system by certain providers. This stance suggests a political debate is underway regarding the management and reform of the NDIS, with the Greens advocating for a rights-based approach and stricter oversight of providers.
