A care worker was found sleeping on two chairs in a staff kitchen at a nursing home while the daughter of a patient was frantically looking for a staff member, a tribunal has heard. The daughter of the patient stated that it was difficult to awaken the care worker in question during her night duty and she found another staff member who promptly got the nurse on duty without delay. The sleeping carer was one of two carers and one nurse tasked with looking after 23 patients during the night duty. The nursing home received a complaint over the care-worker being found asleep on the job. The care assistant had been employed by the nursing home for nine years until her dismissal on June 2nd 2017 arising from the ‘sleep’ incident on May 9th 2017. The care assistant sued for unfair dismissal and a Tribunal has found that the worker was not unfairly dismissed.

An 85-year-old woman has been indecently assaulted by a man who allegedly broke into her retirement home late at night in the New South Wales central west. The elderly resident was asleep in her Blayney unit when she was woken by someone touching her before midnight on Monday, police say. She said she saw a man “committing an act of indecency” and challenged him, before he left the room. The woman escorted him out of the unit but caught him looking in her bedroom window and called police. A 41-year-old man was later arrested in Cowra and charged with aggravated break and enter and commit a serious indictable offence, and sexually touching another person without consent. He was also charged with theft, drug and firearm offences relating to a break-in at a commercial property in Blayney earlier that night.
