For all we know The Public Trustee is to blame here, but because they are protected by secrecy we can't know for sure. Similar has happened regularly in the past.

Support worker or Care worker. Not Carer! Please learn the difference

Our most vulnerable are not being protected by the for profit sector under NDIS. Where is the safeguarding, where is duty of care and why will NDIS not fund Social Workers to ensure safety of people living with Disability? RIP Ms Ann Marie Smith
