一名28岁的残疾土著妇女Kyah Lucas在2022年2月因温度控制面板故障而死于新南威尔士州兰市家中洗浴时遭受危及生命的烧伤,当时水温达到60°C - 远高于安全42°C.
A 28-year-old Indigenous woman with severe disabilities, Kyah Lucas, died in February 2022 after suffering life-threatening burns during a bath at her home in Orange, NSW, when water reached 60°C—well above the safe 42°C limit—due to a malfunctioning temperature control panel.
提供NDIS服务的护理人员无法监测水温, 而Kyah也不能表达自己的痛苦.
Care workers from NDIS provider LiveBetter failed to monitor the water temperature, and Kyah, who was non-verbal and had extremely sensitive skin, could not communicate distress.
她的母亲将此事件描述为"致命的背叛", 新南威尔士州地方法院听取了关于残疾人支持服务监督和安全协议系统性失败的证词, 突出NDIS系统中的漏洞.
Her mother described the incident as a "fatal betrayal," and the NSW District Court heard testimony about systemic failures in oversight and safety protocols within disability support services, highlighting vulnerabilities in the NDIS system.
