We were notified yesterday by NSW Police about serious allegations regarding a former employee.   

We are deeply shocked by the allegations. They relate to seven residents at our Mary Mackillop and Grasmere Terrace aged care facilities.

We had no prior knowledge of the allegations presented to us yesterday by police.

We can confirm the alleged offender stopped working with our organisation in November last year after approximately 12 months of employment. The individual no longer works in the aged care sector.

Our primary concern is the welfare of our residents and their families. We have contacted the families involved and we are providing counselling and ongoing support.

This is a difficult time for our much-loved community, which is deeply supportive of our long-standing not-for-profit organisation. We understand how this matter will impact the community and want to assure everyone that we will stay strong and work through this together.

We remain committed to upholding the dignity and respect of every individual in our care and across our community.

We have notified the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission and we are fully cooperating with the police on their investigation. In addition, we are conducting a thorough internal review.

While there is significant interest in this matter, we will always respect the privacy of our residents, their families and employees and the legal process.
