A 22-year-old Bendigo man is assisting police with their inquiries following a raid on behalf of the NDIS Fraud Taskforce.

Its focus is on high risk and serious criminal activity targeting the NDIS.
"As the investigation is ongoing it would not be appropriate to comment further," the NDIS said in a statement.
