The Health Ombudsman took immediate registration action by imposing conditions on the registration of Mathew Jacob Roberts, Nurse (NMW0002330113), effective 27 May 2025.

Scope of Practice

The conditions imposed include the requirements the practitioner:

• must only practise as a registered health practitioner in employment and at practice locations approved by the Health Ombudsman and published on the Office of the Health Ombudsman website.
• must not practise in any role requiring patient contact (including supervision of other practitioners engaged in patient contact). The practitioner may only use their professional knowledge to practise in management, administration, education, research, advisory, regulatory or policy development roles that do not require patient contact.
  
  For the purpose of this condition, ‘patient contact’ means consultation, interviewing, examining, assessing, prescribing for, advising, or otherwise treating a patient, whether it is in person or on a communication device.

Approved employment and practice locations

The practitioner does not currently have Health Ombudsman approval to practise in any employment or practice location.

Period of action or order

In accordance with section 62(2) of the Health Ombudsman Act 2013 (the Act), the decision will continue to have effect until the earlier of the following happens –

• the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal sets aside the decision;
• the Health Ombudsman removes the conditions under section 65 of the Act.
