Home care fraud rampant

The home care industry in Australia is very lucrative as it largely exists with the help of government handouts to the business operators who are in essence placed by government heads.

Many of these business owners are cooking the books both ways, defrauding both the government and the customers. This is done in full knowledge of various authorities.

Information has been obtained from persons within the industry that home care business owners are operating fraudulently in a variety of methods.

A large auditing / accounting firm was ordered to look at the books of a few of Melbourne’s eastern suburbs home care businesses. Upon initial investigations it was found that these businesses would be shut down and their operators facing court.

Since many individuals in government support the charity industry, it was decided against the official looking into (auditing) of the businesses, purely from a business perspective.

It was also found that these businesses are employing migrant labour, predominantly Indian, for the paltry sum of $5 per hour not on the record book, to engage in domestic house chores.

Operators are also fraudulently obtaining government funds for claimed nonexistent services, as well as monies being allocated to staff is grabbed for private affairs.

These businesses predominantly operate under the multicultural banner, registered in both the eastern and western suburbs of Melbourne.

Since these people have government liaisons, they are above the law and hence prosecution.
