The organization she works for should have a formal agreement as to what duties are required in exchange for rent. Carers Aust may be able to advise.

[lululove]

HI @lululove and @Former-Member 🙂

I think @Former-Member is spot on with contacting Carers Australia for further information aroiund this.

Possibly Fair Work also?  Or seeking legal advise around their rights within the situation?

Hope they find some answers.
