The Health Ombudsman took immediate registration action by suspending the registration of Mr Shahin Ardalan, effective 13 March 2023.

The suspension of registration means that Shahin Ardalan is prohibited from practicing as a pharmacist for the duration of the suspension.

Details of Shahin Ardalan’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 Shahin Ardalan’s registration under section 65 of the Act.
