ABC’s Four Corners Program - Careless: How the NDIS fails to protect our most vulnerable. We are shocked and horrified.

Along with everyone else, we are horrified by what we saw on the Four Corners program Careless: How the NDIS fails to protect our most vulnerable aired on 25 September 2023.

We are shocked, angry and heartbroken for the children who suffered such abuse at the hands of organisations that were supposed to be helping, caring and advocating for them.

The practices reported and those seen in the footage aired have absolutely NO place in our field or any field.

At Autism Partnership, we have zero tolerance for child abuse or any other harm. We are deeply committed to providing children with an environment where they feel safe and are safe, and where their rights, needs and interests are respected.
