Office of the Public AdvocateTwo privately-run disability homes in Melbourne were spending just $2 per person a day on food before the state government seized control and commissioned aged care provider Wintringham to take over their management.
Victorian Public Advocate Colleen Pearce said she had written to the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission raising concerns that residents who received funding from the NDIS were being charged separately for services they already paid for with their accommodation fees, such as assistance with showering.
“I am never really clear when I write to the quality and safeguarding commission exactly what action they are taking,” Pearce told the royal commission.
