Latest WA Compliance Actions

Details have been published by the Western Australia Regulatory Authority under the National Law, Department of Communities, about recent compliance action:

The West Australian State Administrative Tribunal (WASAT), in Chief Executive Officer, Department of Communities and WorldOf Kids Pty Ltd, made an order in relation to a matter brought before the tribunal by the Department for contravention of the National Law. In this case the approved provided was found to have breached section 167(1), National Law, when a 10 1/2 year old child badly injured themselves on a tree stump at the Fun-A-Rama Halls Head service. A penalty of $13,000 was imposed on the approved provider and a further $2,000 was to be paid by them as a contribution towards the Department's legal costs.

In a matter heard by the Fremantle Magistrates Court, on 21 August 2019, Zoie Anne Fenner-Dale pleaded guilty to five charges of working as an educator while under a prohibition notice, 25 charges of providing the Regulatory Authority with documents she knew were false or misleading, and one charge of obstruction and two charges of holding herself out as a certified supervisor when she did not hold a supervisor certificate. She will be sentenced on 22 October 2019 at the Fremantle Court.
