The Health Ombudsman took immediate registration action by suspending the registration of Mate Brkich, effective 10 October 2022.

The suspension of registration means that Mate Brkich is prohibited from practising as a Nurse for the duration of the suspension.

Details of Mate Brkich’s registration can be viewed on the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency website.

In accordance with section 62(2) of the Health Ombudsman Act 2013 (the Act), the Health Ombudsman’s decision will continue to have effect until:

• the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal sets the decision aside
  or
• the Health Ombudsman revokes the suspension imposed on Mate Brkich’s registration under section 65 of the Act.
