A Zimbabwean director of a Western Australian disability services company has reportedly left the country as the organisation faces significant financial turmoil.
The company, which has been providing care services to individuals with disabilities, is now under scrutiny for debts exceeding $6.4 million.
The director, who has been identified as Adrian Mtungwazi, is said to have departed Australia following the company’s insolvency. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has indicated that in certain cases, directors can be issued an order preventing them from leaving the country if they have substantial debts. However, the ATO has not confirmed whether such an order was placed on Mr. Mtungwazi.
The company’s financial difficulties have raised concerns about the sustainability of disability services in the region. Stakeholders are calling for increased oversight and accountability to ensure that individuals relying on these services continue to receive the support they need.
As investigations continue, the case highlights the challenges faced by the disability services sector and the importance of robust financial management to prevent similar situations in the future.
