In early December 2014 a psychiatrist was convicted of WorkCover fraud in the Ringwood Magistrate’s Court. He was given a wholly suspended prison sentence and fined. This is a wake-up call to us all. We must be meticulous in our recordkeeping and ensure that what we charge is consistent with documentation such as appointment times. I can only feel sadness for the psychiatrist involved. Of course he did the wrong thing but at what a cost. He has destroyed his reputation and must have caused great distress to his family and friends.
