The Robodebt scheme, officially known as the Income Compliance Program, was a controversial program implemented by the Australian government aimed at identifying and recovering overpaid welfare benefits. The scheme used an automated data-matching system to compare income reported by welfare recipients with income data held by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). If discrepancies were found, recipients could be issued a debt notice, requiring them to repay what was perceived to be overpaid support.
