Three Queensland women have been charged with allegedly trying to defraud the Commonwealth Government's early access to superannuation scheme for more than $113,000.
The Australian Federal Police have charged the trio for submitting fraudulent applications, claiming to be other superannuation fundholders.
The AFP has charged a total of seven people with offences related to defrauding schemes set up to offer coronavirus financial assistance.
People experiencing financial hardship have been given the opportunity to withdraw $10,000 from their super funds last financial year, and another $10,000 this financial year.
AFP Deputy Commissioner Brett Pointing said they were determined to identify those who are defrauding the public.
"Make no mistake. If you try to steal the nest eggs of hard-working Australians, we will find you and charge you," he said.
"The AFP works around the clock to disrupt and charge offenders who are defrauding the public.
"These arrests are a timely reminder for Australians to make sure their personal financial details are secure — don't be an easy target for criminals."
The latest arrests followed police executing search warrants at five addresses in five South East Queensland suburbs — Morayfield, Worongary, Balmoral, Eagleby and Burpengary East — on August 6.
One of the women, 41, was refused bail and appeared in the Southport Magistrates Court on August 7.
She has been charged with conspiring to dishonestly obtain personal financial information.
Another 41-year-old woman will appear in the Pine Rivers Magistrates Court on September 2, while a 36-year-old woman will appear in Southport Magistrates Court on September 4.
Both are charged with three conspiring offences.
Shadow Assistant Treasurer Stephen Jones has asked the Auditor-General to investigate the "robo-release" early access scheme.
"It is not clear how many have been hit by super thieves, because the threat was not detected by the ATO, but by an employee at a super fund," he said.
"The Auditor-General should take a close look and see how many more failures have slipped under the radar."
There were no new coronavirus cases recorded in Queensland overnight.
