A baby is in a Sydney hospital with burns to her face, arms and legs after a tray holding lit candles fell on her.
Police were told several people were at a Minto home on Monday night when the 11-month-old girl, who was being held by her mother, was injured by melted wax.
Her 28-year-old mother also suffered burns to her face and minor burns to her hands and feet, and her 35-year-old father received minor burns to his hands and feet.
Police carried out first aid until the arrival of paramedics who took the girl to The Children’s Hospital Westmead, and her parents to Westmead Hospital.
They are reported to be stable.
Neighbours say the home is a Bangladesh-Australia Buddhist Society prayer house, according to 7News.
The address is listed as the location of the society on Facebook.
Campbelltown City Council said the premises was not approved as a place of public worship.
The council's acting director city development Paul Curley said the council would "continue to investigate allegations of unauthorised use of the premises".
