Role
On 1 July 2023, we set up the taskforce in response to the Independent Review of Medicare Integrity and Compliance (Philip Review).
The taskforce is providing advice to government to improve Medicare integrity. The taskforce is also working to better identify and reduce fraud and non-compliance. It is progressing policy and legislative changes in line with recommendations from the Philip Review.
The Australian Government is funding the taskforce for 3 years, until June 2026.
Members
The taskforce is made up of members from our department and is supported by a cross-agency program board with members from Services Australia. The board helps the taskforce progress its work.
