Mr Clark, 66, of Framlingham, near Warrnambool, has now been charged with a total of 543 charges by Victoria Police major fraud and extortion squad detectives.
His wife Trudy Clark, 63, has been issued with 481 charges, Jeremy Clark, 45, of Abbotsford, 114 charges, and Aaron Clark, 37, of Bellfield, with 32 charges.
The charges are the result of a five-year investigation, code named Operation Omega, and are alleged to have happened between 2000 and 2010 involving more than $2 million.
Mr Clark said he had not seen the full extent of the charges after they were served on his lawyers on Monday. "I would be interested to know," he said.
Mr Clark said PricewaterhouseCoopers was currently running the Framlingham Aboriginal Trust.
"It would be interesting to see if they have found any evidence of maladministration or poor governance. They replaced a $2000 pump with a $50,000 pump. It's outrageous."
Mr Clark claimed the administration of aboriginal affairs was poor.
"I hope sanity prevails. We are being done over in the blame game. These allegations aim to tarnish me and my family's reputations," he said.
"Everything I have done has been with passion and commitment and loyalty to my own principles and for my people.
"This is the biggest political assassination this district and this country has ever seen.
"We will stand toe to toe and fight for as long as necessary."
Mr Clark said he was not worried about the charges.
"They're ridiculous. Aboriginal affairs has been my life's work and life's passion. These charges aim to blacken me, so I can't represent aboriginal people," he said.
A police media liaison spokeswoman confirmed further charges had been laid and that the Clarks were to appear in Warrnambool court on April 5.
