An Ambulance Victoria employee was sacked and referred to police after allegedly altering plans for new stations so a relative could be paid to install dodgy emergency response doors. The alleged scam was only detected when the garage doors — which must open for paramedics to respond to emergencies — failed at one of the branches. The incident is revealed among a string of thefts and losses recorded within Victoria’s ambulance service in recent years, including repeated misappropriation of high-powered drugs such as fentanyl.

A controversial South Australian Government-run nursing home for elderly people with dementia has been sanctioned by the Commonwealth following allegations of mistreatment of residents. The Federal Government has acted on concerns about medication management at the Older Persons Mental Health Service in Adelaide’s north-east. A nursing adviser must be appointed to help bring the facility at Oakden up to standard. Former independent advisers Carla and Neil Baron have blown the whistle on “shocking” failings at the facility, after being brought in as advisers when the facility was last sanctioned in 2008. Mrs Baron said she was haunted by a memory from her time at the facility.
