- Offence
- A Brisbane hospital psychiatrist, he gave a female patient with bipolar affective disorder his mobile number at their first consultation in early 2008, made physical contact, then had months of personal phone calls, car-park kissing and sexual intercourse in Sydney. When her condition deteriorated she was involuntarily admitted to hospital under his care. The tribunal said his conduct 'could be seen as predatory'. No criminal charges. Unsatisfactory professional conduct and misconduct in a professional respect.
- Outcome
- Registration suspended for 2 years, with the second year suspended after 12 months on conditions (ethics course, 12 months' supervision on boundary violations); Board's costs. QCAT (Judge Fleur Kingham, Deputy President, with Dr Sandra Dunglison, Dr Stephen Pozzi and Glen Lamperd) accepted the Board's joint proposal for suspension rather than cancellation; the Board said it would have sought cancellation had he contested.
