The answer to the honourable member's question is as follows:

I can advise that the Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency is treating all allegations of fraud very seriously.

When allegations of fraud or non-compliance are received (such as the concerns raised by the residents at the Turramurra property), a review process is conducted to consider both the specifics of the allegation and the profile of the insulation installer to fully assess the matter and inform an appropriate response. Depending on the results of this review, the response may include compliance action, referral to the Australian Taxation Office, or the investigation of the alleged fraud.

It is not the policy of the Department to provide feedback or progress reports on the status of matters undergoing compliance or investigation, as this may compromise the integrity of those processes.
