The Government will provide $2.3 million over four years to enable the Department of Human Services to coordinate a more strategic approach to managing fraud and non-compliance detection and prevention activities across Australian Government social, health and welfare payments. This proposal will enable the Department of Human Services to monitor the performance of existing activities and develop strategies to address new or emerging fraud and compliance risks.

The establishment of a central coordination role will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of all fraud and non‑compliance measures across social, health and welfare payments through centralisation of compliance planning and increased flexibility in the deployment of compliance resources.
