The Federal Court has fined NDIS provider Lifestyle Solutions a record $2.5 million for repeated safety failures in its Supported Independent Living (SIL) home.
Lifestyle Solutions admitted multiple breaches of the NDIS Act and more than 1,000 breaches of the Reportable Incidents Rules for failing to report serious incidents.
The Court found the home was unsafe for residents and support workers, and that incidents were not properly assessed, managed or responded to.
This is the first Federal Court case of its kind involving abuse in supported accommodation.
Safety for NDIS participants in any setting, including SIL, is non-negotiable. Providers who neglect their safety and reporting obligations risk serious penalties and regulatory action.
