He was carer for his mother for several years before but now has retreated to the smallest room in the house whilst collecting rent from three lodgers to pay his mother's fees. His vigilant visits have keept his mother alive after rescuing her from medical neglect in 2015, and more recently protecting her from an Omicron outbreak - 27 of 72 residents in her ACF died in January 2022. Not to mention daily care which staff simply do not have time for.
NSW Forced Property Sales
NSW Forced Property Sales
NSW Trustee and Guardian (NSWTG) alone holds approximately 45% of the total value of all clients’ assets held by Public Trustees throughout Australia and well over double the assets held by either of the next largest states in Victoria and QLD.
What really stands out in NSW is how NSWTG goes out of its way to sell off its clients’ homes when there was never a need to sell them. NSWTG sells up to nearly three times as many properties each year than State Trustees does in Victoria yet
State Trustees has only slightly fewer clients (11,459 as against 12,494 for NSWTG). NSWTG, in fact, has described itself as the largest single client for selling properties in Australia but its own clients have suffered horrendous losses as a consequence of those sales.
Example of Dee & His Mother
For more than five years Dee, a pensioner, has used the family home as a base from which to visit his mother (a NSWTG cient) in her aged care facility.
NSWTG tried once already to sell the house, defying the arithmetic of their own figures, and losing in an NCAT Tribunal hearing because they failed to consider her human rights associated with Dee's visits.
However NSWTG have sabotaged her pension so that she will run out of money and have to sell the house. Dee suspects they failed to notify MyAgedCare about rent collected from her house. NSWTG claim otherwise but Department of Human Services rules state that she would have a pension if they were notified. The NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT) recently refused a summons request by Dee for the evidence of that supposed notification, absurdly calling it irrelevant. A cover-up perhaps?
