The accused killer and former housemate of Queensland teenager Pheobe Bishop has been banned from providing NDIS services.
Tanika Bromley is currently being held in Brisbane Women’s Correctional Centre after she and her partner James Wood were charged with Pheobe’s murder.
Bromley, 33, has been blacklisted from working with the NDIS, according to the disability regulator.
‘On 12 June 2025, a banning order was made… prohibiting Tanika Kristan Bromley from being involved in providing NDIS supports or services to NDIS-funded participants,’ the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission said.
The banning order took effect on June 13 for a period of six months and in all states and territories of Australia.
Daily Mail Australia previously revealed Bromley was once good mates with Pheobe’s mother Kylie Johnson and even worked for her NDIS support company.
Ms Johnson made Bromley redundant from her role at Smiley’s Support Services last year.
Pheobe then moved in with Bromley and Wood, 34, at their Gin Gin property, near Bundaberg in central Queensland.

The 17-year-old went missing near Bundaberg Airport about 8.30am on May 15, after booking a trip to WA to visit her boyfriend.
Earlier this month, police discovered the teenager’s remains near Goodnight Scrub National Park.
In the weeks since, rumours have circulated in the Gin Gin community that Pheobe was an NDIS recipient through her mother’s company.
However, NDIS records show that Smiley’s has approved registration status and is in force until it’s up for renewal in February 2026.
Ms Johnson took to social media to hit back at the allegations.
‘We’ve heard a few rumours about ourselves lately, however, we’d like to assure you all that Smiley’s has NO intention of closing,’ she wrote, adding that the business was ‘continuing as usual’.
‘Team Smiley’s won’t let the bullies and trolls WIN and even though I’m not there at the moment, this company has an amazing team that continues to go above and beyond for everyone.’

She added: ‘Your disability only defines you if you allow it to and Phee never let hers define her.’
Ms Johnson did not specify what Pheobe’s disability was. However, before she disappeared, the teen had shared a post to TikTok about borderline personality disorder.
Pheobe’s final posts to social media suggested the troubled teen had fallen out with her mother and would not return home. She also claimed in text messages to her aunt, Caz Johnson, that her mum had told her to ‘get out’.
The rubbish-strewn flat where she lived with Wood and Bromley was just down the road from her mother’s business.
Bromley and Wood have not entered pleas and are being held in jail on remand until their next court appearance on August 11.
A criminologist told Daily Mail Australia they would have to be housed in protective custody in order to prevent acts of ‘convict justice’ being carried out on them.
