A Gold Coast solicitor is calling for Australia to introduce a coordinated system for screening people who work in the aged care sector, similar to the Working With Children Checks (WWCC) performed nation-wide that vets people wanting to work with children and young people. Christine Smyth, who specialises in laws affecting the elderly, said a recent advertisement in a Gold Coast newsletter highlighted a gap in protection for older Australians. The advertiser, described as a retired registered nurse, offered to mind seniors in clients’ homes on a freelance basis for $12 per hour, plus a one-off payment of $8 for petrol. Ms Smyth said she was sceptical about the advertisement.

Krystal Janet Marie Pearce, 33, was sentenced to more than two years and two months in jail when she appeared in the Hamilton District Court on Tuesday. Krystal Pearce was fully aware of the gravity of what she was doing when she slipped into the room of a 91-year-old woman in a Hamilton rest home and stole her handbag. She was aware because it was the same thing she had done and been convicted of in 2011. Krystal Janet Marie Pearce, 33, was jailed for two years and two months when she appeared in the Hamilton District Court on Tuesday, on one charge of burglary and five of using a document – her victim’s credit card – for pecuniary advantage. Judge Philip Crayton said while the burglary took place during the day – generally a tempering factor for people on such charges because the occupants are usually not at home – this was not the case for rest homes. And Pearce was also fully aware of the vulnerability of her victim because the Selwyn Wilson Carlile Retirement Village in Hamilton east was a previous target among her 36 recorded burglaries.
