Butler said stopping the mass rort was "priority business" for the government.

"There are too many rorts. There's certainly too many dodgy providers."
He called on federal MPs to pass legislation, drafted by NDIS Minister Bill Shorten, which was currently before parliament, and which takes aim at the problem.

"We all know people who are struggling to get onto the scheme and would benefit from this world-leading scheme if they were able to get on it," he said.
