The Health Ombudsman took immediate registration action by imposing conditions on the registration of Phillip Hugh McManus, Chinese Medicine Practitioner (CMR0001709461), effective 17 August 2021.

The Health Ombudsman then varied the immediate registration action by removing the conditions and suspending the practitioner’s registration, effective 27 August 2024.

The suspension of registration means the practitioner is prohibited from practising as a Chinese Medicine Practitioner for the duration of the suspension.

Details of the practitioner’s registration can be viewed in full on the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency website.

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.
