An NDIS supervisor accused of assaulting and kidnapping a man she found on her property has been granted bail on strict conditions, including a ban on travelling within 100km of her own home near Newcastle, New South Wales. Kylee Robinson, 52, allegedly attacked a man with a baseball bat after discovering him in her shed at Raymond Terrace, then bound him with a chain and padlock before forcing him, alongside her partner Guy Westgate, 53, to a nearby homeless camp to search for stolen property. The case has drawn attention for the unusual severity of her bail conditions relative to her own residence.

Robinson faces charges including kidnapping with intent to commit a serious indictable offence, being armed with intent, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm, after allegedly assaulting two further men and damaging a car at the camp. She spent 18 nights in custody before Newcastle Local Court granted her bail on 21 August, requiring her to live over 360km away on the NSW Central Tablelands, observe a night-time curfew, avoid alcohol and licensed venues, report weekly to police, and have no contact with Westgate or witnesses, backed by a A$10,000 surety. Westgate, a former soldier, was granted bail earlier under separate conditions and is also charged in connection with the incident.
