Does the Medical Council have power to suspend a medical practitioner indefinitely? It can only do so when it neglects to exercise the power of s145D(1) which provides practitioners with rights under the national law.
Following the Medical Council’s failure to refer my case, I have been in limbo for over two years without the chance for a fair hearing on the underlying issues. Rather than receiving a proper hearing, I am being prosecuted by the director of proceedings to have my license cancelled based solely on medical records unlawfully obtained by the HCCC.
The absence of legal rights and due process in my situation raises troubling questions about the system at play. Is Australia veering towards resembling a place like North Korea?
