The federal Department of Defence has pleaded guilty to a workplace health and safety charge arising from the death of a young Victorian soldier during a live-fire training exercise near Darwin four years ago.
Private Jason Challis was accidentally shot after he separated from his training group during an exercise at the Mount Bundey Training Area in May 2017, and crouched down behind a plywood building directly in line with a concealed target.
The Defence Department has admitted breaching its duty of care to a young soldier fatally shot in the head during a live-fire exercise, saying it was a terrible and avoidable tragedy.
Victorian soldier Private Jason Challis, 25, died after he was shot in 2017 at the Australian Defence Force s Mount Bundey training area, about 120km southeast of Darwin.
The department pleaded guilty in the Northern Territory Local Court on Tuesday to failing to comply with its health and safety duty to Pte Challis.
