As a matter of course, the department uses very sophisticated data analysis and other processes to prevent and proactively detect instances of alleged fraud and noncompliance, which include a number of mechanisms that we have spoken about in the chamber before. I indicated that the New South Wales police advised the department on Thursday, 10 September that they had found a number of allegedly stolen medical files from a medical practice or practices, not material stolen from the Department of Human Services.
