WorkSafe Victoria charges justice department over Malmsbury youth centre riot
The charges relate to an incident in October 2023 where a youth justice worker and several young people were assaulted at the centre.
The department faces two charges: failing to provide and maintain a safe working environment, and failing to ensure people other than workers were not exposed to health and safety risks.
The ABC has previously reported on multiple assaults against staff and young people at the centre, which was decommissioned in December 2023.
The state government has been contacted for comment.

Jack de Belin attends court appearance of police officer who perjured himself during case
A former NSW Police officer who perjured himself in relation to a sexual assault case involving NRL player Jack de Belin and his co-accused Callan Sinclair was suffering from deteriorating mental illness when he gave false evidence, a court has heard. The officer, who can only be identified as "Officer A" due to a court suppression order, was in court with supporters today alongside Mr de Belin and Mr Sinclair, both of whom were joined by their families. The officer was a detective in the investigation into Mr De Belin and Mr Sinclair when the pair were charged with sexually assaulting a 19-year-old women in Wollongong in 2018. According to an agreed statement of facts, Officer A gave false evidence during an application to stay proceedings in February 2020. The application to halt proceedings was ultimately dismissed and the case went to two separate trials, both ending in hung juries. The case was then abandoned by prosecutors. Officer A was questioned about accessing and sharing privileged text messages between Mr de Belin and his lawyer Craig Osborne, during a review of the football star's phone in 2019. In a sworn affidavit, Officer A stated that he believed the messages from "Craig Lawyer" on the phone related to St George Illawarra Dragons business and not to Mr de Belin's legal defence. He later admitted under cross examination he knew Mr Osborne was Mr de Belin's solicitor in the sexual assault case but maintained they only appeared to detail "dragons business". Officer A has since pleaded guilty to perjuring himself by falsely affirming that the review of text messages "contained information about dragons football club business alone". In Wollongong District Court today he faced a sentencing hearing. Judge Christine Mendes will deliver a final sentence on September 12. Officer A served with NSW Police from May 2002 until his medical retirement in August 2023. In court today the Crown prosecutor Ciro Triscari said Officer A deliberately mislead the court when he claimed the text messages were about "dragons business" in a sworn affidavit. The prosecutor told the court around 190 messages accessed on the phone contained "privileged communications between Mr de Belin and his lawyer". "This represents a serious example of perjury when one considers the position occupied by the offender in question," Mr Triscari said. Officer A's defence lawyer Dr Peggy Dwyer said the long-serving officer and defence services veteran had been experiencing deteriorating mental health for months prior to his perjury. Dr Dwyer provided eight psychologist and psychiatrist reports detailing complex PTSD and depressive illnesses suffered by Officer A after he was exposed to "gruesome and disturbing incidents" in his role as a detective. "There can be no doubt he was suffering from PTSD in February and that it impacted his capacity to give evidence," she said. Dr Dwyer argued the perjury was "an innocent mistake" made "in a moment of panic" which did not impact the eventual trial of Mr de Belin and Mr Sinclair. "This was not a case where anything [Officer A] did or didn't do changed whether or not they were charged," she said. The Crown argued the threshold for a custodial sentence had been breached in their final submissions to Judge Mendes. The defence called for any custodial sentence potentially required be served in the community under an Intensive Corrective Order, referring to one psychiatrist's report which found a jail term could be 'catastrophic' for the former police officer. The case will return to Wollongong Court for sentencing in September, after which spokespeople for Mr de Belin and Mr Sinclair are expected to make statements. Mr De Belin spent three years out of the NRL during the criminal proceedings and will finish with St George Illawarra at the end of 2025 after the club declined to extend his contract.

Gregory Vaughn, 72, and Kim Worner, 66, identified as couple on board a light plane that vanished over the Bass Strait
A Tasmanian couple who are missing after their light plane took off from the state's north coast then failed to arrive at their destination three days ago have been identified. Gregory Vaughan, 72, his partner Kim Worner, 66, and their dog Molly, have not been seen or heard from since their green Bristell S-LSA aircraft took off from George Town airport about 12.45pm on Saturday. The plane was scheduled to arrive in central NSW later that day but never landed, prompting family and friends to raise the alarm. Tasmanian Police inspector Nick Clark said the missing couple had not been in contact with anyone or aviation authorities since they left George Town. A police helicopter search of Tasmania's north coastline between George Town and Turners Beach on Tuesday failed to locate any sighting of the plane. Inclement weather and low cloud has complicated search conditions, while boats did not go out on the water due to the rough conditions. Inspector Clark said police would continue searching on Wednesday. 'Significant resources have been used in the search and Pol Air will continue to be used over the next two days, at which time the search efforts will be reassessed based on any possible new information that becomes available,' he said. 'The longer Gregory and Kim are missing the greater the concerns are for their welfare. 'If anyone has information that could assist the search, has seen a plane matching this description, or noticed anything such as unusual debris on land or in the water, they should contact Tasmania Police.'
