According to information recently published on the West Australian Department of Communities' website, there have been a number of cases before the West Australian State Administrative Tribunal involving children who have left their services unsupervised in contravention of section 165, National Law.
In a case involving approved provider Prendco Pty Ltd, in relation to the Sonas Early Learning and Care Wattle Grove service, a child aged 1 year and 11 months left the service premises unnoticed and unsupervised until he was returned to the service. CCTV footage from various sources showed him wandering alone around various locations at the Wattle Grove Shopping Centre complex. A member of the public alerted the service who then sent a staff member to collect the child. The Tribunal ordered the approved provider pay a penalty of $10,000 for the contravention of section 165(1) and $1,000 towards the Department’s legal costs.
The other case involved Cachet Holdings Pty Ltd, approved providers of the Mulberry Tree Child Care - North Perth service. In this case, a nearly three year old child left the service unsupervised and was found crossing Grosvenor Street by two members of the public in their car. The Tribunal ordered the approved provider pay a penalty of $10,500 for the contravention of section 165 and a contribution of $2000 towards the Department’s legal costs.
The Guardian Express also covered these two incidents.
