The Health Ombudsman took immediate registration action by imposing conditions on the registration of Somesh Bista, Registered Nurse (NMW0002465646), effective 17 July 2025.

The Health Ombudsman then varied the immediate registration action by removing the conditions and suspending the practitioner’s registration, effective 19 May 2026.

The suspension of registration means the practitioner is prohibited from practising as a Registered Nurse for the duration of the suspension.

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.
