NSW school counsellor banned after having jelly shots and engaging in ‘sexual contact’ with students
- The Health Care Complaints Commission permanently bans Victoria Worsley from all health services in paid or voluntary roles.
- Worsley invited students to her home, made alcoholic jelly shots, and engaged in sexual contact with them while acting as their counsellor.
- The ban took effect January 21, 2026, following an interim prohibition issued in May 2025.
- The Commission said Worsley posed a significant and unacceptable risk to the health and safety of the public.
- The prohibition covers her work in other states, including Queensland, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, and Western Australia.
- The commission cited breaches of professional boundaries under the code of conduct for non-registered health practitioners.
- Two students, aged 17 and 18, were involved in the incidents while Worsley was their school counsellor.
- The commission announced it would publicly list the case to inform the public about the risk.
- The Health Care Complaints Commission is a NSW body that oversees health practitioner conduct.
