The NDIS watchdog is investigating after the directors of a banned NDIS company that racked up a $6.8 million debt bought another NDIS business in Victoria’s Latrobe Valley.
perth-based NDIS operator Adachi Disability Services was banned in February 2024.
According to the liquidator’s report, its directors allegedly used company funds to pay for a Ferrari, overseas property and fund a Zimbabwean football club called Adachi FC.
The liquidator’s report revealed that despite the ban placed on Adachi, its directors Adrian and Chiedza Mtungwazi were able to purchase Daily Living Disability Services (Daily Living) in Traralgon using Adachi funds.
Daily Living collapsed overnight in March 2026, leaving its clients without care and owing its staff and the Australian Taxation Office an estimated $1.2 million.
The closure has left NDIS advocates questioning how the directors were able to purchase the company despite the ban on Adachi, and calling for more checks and balances in the scheme.
