- Working at ICON Cancer Care, Wesley Hospital, in 2014 she stole a doctor's blank authority prescription pad, forged about 10 prescriptions for Endone (oxycodone) and presented them at three pharmacies. She told police a series of untruths and did not notify the Board of her charges. Pleaded guilty in Sandgate Magistrates Court (11 August 2014) to fraud and stealing; fined $500, no conviction recorded.
- Outcome
- Reprimand; disqualified from applying for registration for 9 months (she had already surrendered registration). No costs order.
