Compliance and enforcement actions

On 29 January 2026 a banning order was made under section 73ZN(2)(b) of the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013 (Cth) prohibiting Tardy Patrick Kamara from engaging in the following activities for a period of four (4) years: 

1. Provide or be involved or assist in the provision, to any NDIS participant, of any supports and/or services under a participant’s plan and which: 

a. Involves unsupervised contact with NDIS participants, whether in an NDIS participant's home or elsewhere; and 

b. Involves you accessing or receiving an NDIS participant's personal or financial information. 

In this instance: 

• 'Contact' means face to-face contact, oral communication, written communication or electronic communication, where you are physically touching the participant, speaking with, or building a rapport with the participant; 

• ‘Unsupervised’ means not requiring direct continuous supervision by a supervisor or senior colleague; 

• NDIS participant means a participant within the meaning of section 9 of the NDIS Act; 

• NDIS provider means an NDIS provider within the meaning of section 9 of the NDIS Act; and 

• Participant’s plan means a plan within the meaning of section 9 of the NDIS Act. 

This order takes effect on 12 February 2026 at 5:00pm ACDT and operates across all states and territories of Australia.

The banning order was made on the grounds that a delegate of the Commissioner reasonably believes Tardy Patrick Kamara is not suitable to provide supports and services to people with disability, having regard to his relevant criminal history.
