Inadequate Supervision (Section 165, National Law): CEO of Department of Communities, Narula Holdings Pty Ltd

In a case heard this month, before the West Australian State Administrative Tribunal, an order was made which gave effect to the terms of settlement in relation to a matter brought before the tribunal by the WA Regulator (Department of Communities) for contravention of section 165 of the National Law by the approved provider (Narula Holdings).

The facts of the case are set out in the report of the case, and in particular the attached agreed set of facts. In summary, at the Little Peoples Place service, in Spearwood, two autistic children, one 3 1/2 and the other nearly 4 years of age, were found by the public playing on the main road unsupervised.

A penalty of $10,500 was imposed on the approved provider with a further $1,000 to be paid to the Department for legal costs.
