Kaylah Hayward has been complaining about her public housing property for the past two years due to ongoing mould problems after repeated attempts to remove it failed and the family was forced to sleep in the living room. 

Her newborn daughter arrived four weeks early on Wednesday and Ms Hayward said she did not want to return to the house with her daughter given her older daughter suffered severe health problems she blamed on the mould.

The family has been placed in a hotel until Monday night.

“They’re going to get someone to clean the house, but won’t last,” Ms Hayward said.

She said since the Central Western Daily contacted FACS, maintenance had been completed at the house, including fixing broken tiles, removing asbestos sheeting and fixing gaps in the walls.

She has also been approved to move.

“But it has absolutely nothing to do with the mould,” she said.

The CWD asked FACS whether the maintenance at the house was targeted at mould reduction and how quickly she could be housed at a different property.

A FACS spokesman said FACS was working with Ms Hayward to find suitable alternate accommodation.

“In the interim, temporary accommodation is being made available to Ms Hayward and her family,” he said.
