Oak Tasmania fined $1.1M for 474 safety failures, including delayed insulin and delayed reporting, risking client harm.
A Tasmanian NDIS provider, Oak Tasmania, was fined $1.1 million for 474 safety and reporting failures, including delayed insulin administration, improper equipment use, and unreported neglect and misconduct.
The court heard the provider took up to 313 days to report restricted practices, far exceeding the five-day requirement, risking serious harm or death to vulnerable clients.
The penalty, the largest in Tasmania for such breaches, reflects the Australian government’s commitment to enforcing safety standards in disability services.
The provider, part of the Possability Group, admitted to systemic failures and has since implemented new safeguards and reporting procedures.
The NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission emphasized the importance of timely reporting and participant protection.
