Police on Wednesday raided homes in the suburbs of Brighton-Le-Sands, Mascot, Lakemba and Roselands, arresting the men - aged 34, 39 and 51.
The men are expected to be charged over their alleged roles in the syndicate, police say.
Cash, electronic devices and documents seized during the searches will undergo forensic examination.
Officers also raided businesses in Lakemba.
The arrests are part of Strike Force Sainsbery, set up to investigate fraudulent applications made against NSW government financial relief schemes related to the COVID-19 pandemic and natural disasters.
Investigators have laid 396 charges against 48 people for allegedly defrauding the schemes, police say.
