Cancer fraudster Belle Gibson's home has been raided by authorities in inner Melbourne.

Gibson was fined $410,000 in 2017 for falsely claiming she cured herself of brain cancer through diet and alternative therapies.

With penalties and interests that amount has since grown to more than $500,000, even following a previous raid on her home in January last year.

As well as claiming she cured herself of cancer, the fake wellness blogger previously lied to customers and said she would donate money from her Whole Pantry app and book sales to charities.

Gibson received $440,500 from sales of her app and book but donated only about $10,000.
