An interim prohibition order was issued to Stephen Michael Williams on 11 June 2021.

The Health Ombudsman then varied the conditions, effective 5 May 2023.

The practitioner is prohibited from providing any health service, paid or otherwise, in a clinical or non-clinical capacity.

This means the practitioner must not provide any health services at all.

Period of action or order

In accordance with section 73(2) of the Health Ombudsman Act 2013 (the Act), the order continues to have effect until the earliest of the following happens –

• the order ends under section 90H of the Act;
• QCAT sets aside the decision to issue the order on application by the practitioner for a review of the decision;
• the Health Ombudsman revokes the order under section 76 of the Act.
