Ill-gotten gains from the taxpayer. That’s what this woman thought she could get away with by rorting the childcare system and living a life of luxury.

So much so that this wealthy Melbourne businesswoman has been charged over a childcare fraud worth up to $15m.

Australian Federal Police arrested Prime Family Day Care operator Ola Ouda, 42, over allegations she defrauded the commonwealth-funded Child Care Subsidy by making claims on children who had not actually attended her centres.

Worst of all, Prime Family Day Care is the nation’s biggest recipient of Federal Government family day care payments and Ms Ouda is accused of using the money to fund an extensive property portfolio in Melbourne and Dubai, and luxury overseas holidays.

You can see from the cars she drove to the clothes she wore, that her defrauding allowed her to live a life that she didn’t deserve or earn lawfully.

Whilst its sickening to see the amount she defrauded, it’s good news that she’s charged by the police.
