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

In a case heard yesterday, before the West Australian State Administrative Tribunal (WASAT), 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 (Kindley Investments Pty Ltd).

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 approved provider's service, Seeds Childcare and Early Learning Centre in East Cannington, a 10 month old child in her cot was bitten all over her body by another child without being observed or prevented from doing so. A penalty of $10,000 was imposed on the approved provider.
