HPDT Decisions
The Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal (HPDT) hears and determines disciplinary proceedings brought against health practitioners and comprises of a chairperson, two deputy chairpersons and a panel of laypersons and health practitioners. The HPDT was created by Section 84 of the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003.
Registered practitioners who have been involved in disciplinary proceedings are listed below; with links provided to the decision in the disciplinary proceedings from the HPDT.
If a practitioner has court ordered name suppression, they are therefore not named below but referred to as named suppressed.
