Zero-Tolerance Policy Under Review for Service Provider Allambi Care
What happened
A zero-tolerance approach is being applied to a service provider whose contract is under review. The provider must adhere to strict conditions set by the Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) to continue operations. These conditions require cooperation with DCJ, including submitting annual operational budgets for the department's review and approval.
Why it matters
The extraordinary measures are understood to be the strongest restrictions imposed by the state government on a service providing child protection services. If the provider fails to meet these conditions, its contract will be wound up. Kate Washington, the NSW Minister for Families and Communities and Port Stephens MP, confirmed the government is adopting this strict policy.
