Did you know NCAT did not hear my interlocutory application challenging the missing seven minutes of audio, the HCCC’s control over the commissioning and distribution of the transcript, and the fact that my defence evidence was not on the record?🌸🌿

I am taking my fight to the NSW Supreme Court of Appeal, challenging NCAT’s decision finding me guilty of unsatisfactory professional conduct and professional misconduct arising from the complaints made by Westmead Toxicology Department and John Smith. You are my witnesses! “And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD’S, and he will give you into our hands.” 👇 givesendgo.com/courageous-su…

I have news! I was in court today. The Medical Council refused to produce the documents requested under the subpoena and instead produced a letter. The HCCC has now filed a motion opposing our access to that letter.

I have 21,000 followers. If each person contributed just $7, I would reach my fundraising target. 👇 givesendgo.com/courageous-su…

I have a GiveSendGo fundraiser to support my fight in the Supreme Court against the health regulators’ decision to cancel my medical registration over prescribing ivermectin. If you’re able to support it, I’d be very grateful. Thank you for your encouragement and support. 👇 givesendgo.com/courageous-su…

A passage from the decision to suspend me under s 150 When we asked Dr Trinh if she had been vaccinated against COVID-19 herself, she said she had not. She told us that she had religious beliefs in regards to the presence of foetal cells in the vaccines, as biblical bodies we are a temple of the Holy Spirit, so she felt strongly she did not want to put any foetal cells into her body. Dr Trinh did not distinguish between types of vaccines in this regard. Given her response, we consider that Dr Trinh may have a conscientious objection to COVID-19 vaccination. We consider that this could pose a significant and serious immediate risk to the public if such a belief impacted on the choices made by other patients with respect to their own vaccination and related care. The image is a screenshot of my s150 decision.

For 27 years, I practised medicine without a single complaint. I believe I was suspended because I prescribed ivermectin during the COVID 19 pandemic. On the same day, two complaints were made against me. One was from “John Smith” and the other was from Westmead Toxicology. Those complaints changed the course of my life and led to years of legal proceedings. I am now taking my fight to the Supreme Court because I believe the issues surrounding my case deserve to be properly examined. If you believe in fairness, due process and accountability, I would be deeply grateful for your support. Every donation, no matter how small, helps me continue this fight. Thank you to everyone who has stood by me. 👇 givesendgo.com/courageous-su…

This is the judgment. Look at what they are trying to do to me. It’s in the second paragraph. “In the event that the complaints are sustained, the HCCC seeks a protective order for the cancellation of Dr Trinh's medical registration and an order for a non-review period of between 3 and 5 years, with a consequential order for costs. Those matters must be reserved for a Stage 2 hearing.”

Upright and ethical doctors need protection from the HCCC‼️

You can’t charge someone with a charge that has already been dropped.

On 12 December 2024, the HCCC announced that it would not press the charges of “improper conduct” or “unethical conduct”. This means that one of the two limbs of s 139B was dropped. The charge of “improper or unethical conduct” is contained in s 139B(1)(l) of the legislation, which states: (1) Other improper or unethical conduct Any other improper or unethical conduct. However, in the judgment delivered on 26 June 2026, paragraphs [267], [271], [277], [288] and [297] found me guilty of improper or unethical conduct. 🌿Please share!

In July 2024, it became clear to me that the Health Care Complaints Commission and the Tribunal were determined to push my hearing through regardless of my circumstances. At a directions hearing in March 2024, I submitted medical evidence from three practitioners confirming I was unfit to proceed and requested a three month adjournment. This was ignored and the hearing was fixed for 15 to 17 July. Because I was too unwell to represent myself, I engaged lawyers through my insurance. I was not allowed to speak to the appointed lawyer unless I paid a $3,500 consultation fee without the insurer present, so I had little choice but to proceed. I selected my own barrister, and because that barrister had previously worked with the insurer, my choice was accepted without issue. Over the next four weeks, working with this legal team became the most stressful part of my case. I did not trust them. A short adjournment was briefly granted to allow preparation, then reversed two days later, returning to the original July dates. The strategy I was given was deeply concerning. I was advised not to respond to the allegations, not to defend myself, and not to take any position, effectively leaving the Tribunal to decide my fate without contest. I was also told not to defend my use of ivermectin or make an issue of it, as it might upset the Tribunal. After weeks of work, and with only two weeks before the hearing, I had nothing prepared, no affidavit, no evidence, and no expert witnesses. I dismissed the legal team. A second lawyer was then introduced, claiming he could obtain an adjournment despite not understanding the basic timing requirements. By that point, I had already engaged a private lawyer to submit an adjournment application within time. The HCCC strongly opposed the application, but the reality was that I had no prepared defence due to the failures of the insurance appointed lawyers. The adjournment was ultimately granted and the hearing was moved to December 2024. The HCCC later added a second expert witness, while I had six. From that point onward, there was a clear shift in my ability to defend myself. After engaging my own private lawyer, I was finally in a position to properly prepare and present my case.

Tony was a great support to me during a very stressful disciplinary hearing before the Tribunal. I am deeply grateful for his friendship and support.
