New National Anti-Corruption Commission receives more than 300 reports in first 10 days, including robodebt

The newly established National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) has confirmed it has received a referral about the robodebt royal commission report.

The report lashed the scheme as a "crude and cruel mechanism, neither fair nor legal" perpetuated through "venality, incompetence and cowardice".

It also referred individuals for civil and criminal prosecution and included 57 recommendations.

The report will now be assessed by the NACC.

"As stated by the robodebt royal commission, it has referred parts of its report to the NACC," the NACC said in a statement.

"The NACC will assess these in accordance with its assessment procedures."

The organisation has been inundated with reports in its first ten days of existence.

Since it opened its figurative doors on July 1, the NACC has received 311 referrals.

Just over half of the referrals "relate to matters well publicised in the media," a statement said.

The organisation was inundated with reports in its first few days of launch, with 300 made in the first four days.

One of those was made by Green Senator Barbara Pocock, who referred the PwC tax scandal to the NACC.

"Any Australian citizen can refer instances of corruption in government to the NACC and that is what I have done today in my capacity as a concerned member of the Australian public," she said.

Brereton said the NACC won't look into every matter sent to it, saying only a "very small proportion" will warrant a full investigation.

There is also speculation former Coalition minister Stuart Robert will be referred to the body over allegations a consulting firm planned to funnel funds to him in exchange for support in gaining government contracts.

NDIS and Government Services Minister Bill Shorten is seeking advice from his department over the matter.

Robert has denied any and all wrongdoing.
