Overview

  • In May, the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission barred the two former Bankstown Hospital nurses from any work with disability participants for two years after a viral clip showed them threatening to kill Israeli patients.
  • The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency suspended their nursing registrations in mid-February, prohibiting them from all hospital roles nationwide.
  • Sarah Abu Lebdeh has been charged with threatening violence to a group, using a carriage service to threaten to kill, and using a carriage service to menace, harass or offend.
  • Ahmad Rashad Nadir faces charges of using a carriage service to menace, harass or offend and possessing a prohibited drug.
  • Both remain on bail and will return to Downing Centre Local Court on July 29 to contest the admissibility of the video evidence.
