THE Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra) has issued a rare public statement about Bill Tolis, a cancelled and prohibited medical practitioner, saying he may pose a serious risk to the public.
Ahpra has stated that Tolis' conduct is currently under investigation, but there are concerns he may be continuing to provide health services, including as a naturopath, despite being banned, and in issuing the warning, seeks to protect the public.
In 2022, the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal found Tolis had engaged in professional misconduct and ordered that his registration be cancelled.
This followed an investigation by Ahpra and the Medical Board of Australia.
The tribunal also ordered Tolis be disqualified from applying for registration for seven years and prohibited from providing any health services, including services as a naturopath, for seven years until 09 Aug 2029.
Ahpra is encouraging anyone who suspects Tolis may have provided treatment, or who has information that he has claimed to be a medical practitioner, is encouraged to contact Ahpra's Criminal Offences Unit.
