	Catholiccare Statement: Response to Allegations of Misconduct in Lets Program CatholicCare December 12, 2011 http://www.catholiccare.org/files/files/CatholicCare/media%20releases/Response%20to%20allegations%20of%20misconduct.pdf [full text] CatholicCare Sydney denies there has been any deliberate or planned attempt to rort, defraud or dupe the Tax Office through its job seekers scheme as reported in today’s Sydney Morning Herald (SMH) article “Catholic Church accused of duping Tax Office in multibillion-dollar jobs scheme” (12 December 2011). CatholicCare Sydney, the Catholic Church’s welfare agency in the Archdiocese of Sydney, treats allegations of fraudulent behaviour very seriously and does not tolerate behaviours of any misconduct. CatholicCare, a not for-profit organisation which has a long history of supporting the disadvantaged, is committed to assisting job seekers find employment through its LETS program. CatholicCare regularly undertakes audits and other reviews of its systems and programs. An audit of its LETS program in March last year did not reveal any systemic problems involving job seekers.
