Conflicted over family/ndis matter

Hello, I will keep this vague. My sister has recently told me that her and her husband have been misusing ndis funds. One of their kids is on the ndis and the husband claims some support hours so that directly get the funds. (He has another job and is claiming these hours through a abn) she told me it isn’t much, maybe 200-300 a week and they have been doing it for about 15 months. I instantly told her that it was not right and they are ripping off a system that they are lucky to have to support their daughter. She doesn’t see it that way and says the money is helping them. They definitely are not struggling and all in all the are a great family and I love them. I am conflicted though, as I would not dob her and her hubby in (the therapy’s really do help their daughter) but I’m also not ok with this.
Is this something that will sort its self out? As in what is the likely hood this will blow up in their face and they be found out and learn their lesson and pay it back? If I did potentially do something would they loose all their funding or just not be able to continue doing what they are doing?
I’m asking here as I think it’s very un Australian to dob in your family but it is also very un Australian to rip off a system that we are lucky to have.

Edit: A lot of you seem angry at me? I literally have just came for advice and agree with every one’s view. It is much easier to say dob then in when you’re not talking about your sibling and her family that you love. If this was a random person I would not hesitate. Also I don’t think there would be much of a paper trail as the husband is an accountant.
