One of Australia’s worst rapists will reportedly receive help from the National Disability Insurance Scheme upon his release from prison amid fears he could strike again.
Wayne Wilmot, who was involved in the gang rape and murder of bank teller Janine Balding in 1988 and is now in his 50s, is set to be released after spending almost his entire adult life in prison.
This is despite the fact that a forensic psychologist has assessed that he poses a “significant risk” of reoffending because he remains “supportive of sexual violence against women”.
Wilmot received support from the NDIS, including up to 24 hours of help per week to reintegrate into society, The Australian reported.
He has a below average IQ and has been diagnosed with a severe personality disorder and psychopathic tendencies.

It is unclear what measures will be put in place to ensure the safety of NDIS staff.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted the National Disability Insurance Agency for comment.
The NSW Supreme Court heard a forensic psychologist’s report found Wilmot felt entitled to “just take what he wanted”, believing some women “deserve sexual violence based on their clothing , their level of intoxication or their perceived permissiveness.”
The psychologist told the court the risk posed by Wilmot was “most likely that of a penetrative sexual assault against a young woman he did not previously know”.
“Any offense would likely be impulsive, opportunistic and target a vulnerable woman,” the psychologist said.
“Physical coercion and threats would likely be used. The risk of such a scenario occurring is much higher than average.
Wilmot’s long criminal history officially began with a sexual assault on a woman walking in a park when he was 13, after which he allegedly stated “I have… a problem” and “It’s not the first time I’ve done it.” This’.
He then served eight years in prison for the kidnapping and rape of Ms Balding, committed when he was 15.
The 20-year-old bank teller was arrested at a Sydney train station by a gang of homeless youths, including Wilmot, before being raped repeatedly.
Wilmot remained in the car when Ms Balding was then tied up, gagged and thrown over a fence before being held underwater in a dam until she drowned.
He committed sexual offenses against women and men, involving at least eight victims, including a woman he beat, tied up and raped at another Sydney train station in 1998.
The sentencing judge concluded that the victim “was subjected to extreme brutality and sexual violence”, which had a devastating impact on her.
In 2019, Wilmot was ordered to remain in prison under a continuing detention order (CDO), despite having served his sentence.
In granting the CDO, Judge Julia Lonergan noted Wilmot’s “appalling criminal history and types of offending” and ruled he posed an “unacceptable risk of committing another serious offense if not sustained in custody in accordance with the order.”
He also blamed his victims, lacked insight, and suffered from a personality disorder and antisocial and aggressive traits and behaviors.
The 20-year-old bank teller (pictured) was arrested at a Sydney train station by a gang of five homeless youths before being raped repeatedly.
Another CDO has been granted, but the state of New South Wales has now obtained an extended interim supervision order.
This means Wilmot may be released under extremely strict surveillance monitoring his movements and internet use.
“The surveillance will be at a high level, with the accused required to adhere to a travel schedule, observe a curfew (9 p.m. to 6 a.m.) and wear an electronic monitoring device,” the judge said Wilson.
In 1999, a psychiatrist reportedly asked Wilmot if he thought it was acceptable to sexually assault a woman.
“You look at it from the point of view of the law,” Wilmot responded.
“In the eyes of the law, it wouldn’t be right, but if you had a hard time around women growing up, you’d probably think that in your mind it was okay.”
NDIS Minister Bill Shorten told The Australian the government had an obligation to support people with disabilities even when they were released from prison.
“I think the vast majority of people are not sex offenders,” he said.
“When it comes to their security and safety nets, that’s a state issue.”
Wilmot’s case will be heard again on Thursday.
