Episode Details

Allegations are erupting from a privately-run NDIS group home in Broome, Western Australia, where former staff describe inhumane conditions: residents crammed into rooms, sleeping on the floor, with AC barely used in scorching heat. A child allegedly lived with a drug user, suffering mental health damage, while critical meds—including for an elderly dialysis patient—were missed due to chaotic oversight. Food shortages were reported, with fridges locked to prevent overeating. One worker called it a prison. The NDIS Commission received a February complaint but took no action—until ABC’s investigation prompted a fresh review. This case underscores the urgent need for stricter regulations on unregistered providers, as the fate of the residents hangs in the balance.
