Service NSW and NSW Police have announced the establishment of a new strike force to investigate fraudulent applications for COVID-19 business support payments.
"Let this be a warning to anyone who made a fraudulent application - it will not be long before we are knocking on your door," NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Stuart Smith said.
"We cannot have those in need miss out on crucial support while greedy fraudsters live it up on the dime of NSW taxpayers."
Service NSW has paid more than $11 billion in support payments to people impacted by COVID-19, bushfires and floods.
