Disciplinary

Our highly regarded team has considerable experience representing health practitioners in disciplinary complaints, from the initial investigation to formal disciplinary hearings conducted by Tribunals and Panels. This includes preparing submissions and statements, collecting evidence in response to complaints and providing support to health practitioners throughout this challenging process.

Meridian Lawyers also assists practitioners to prepare for and participate in Immediate Action Hearings conducted by various professional councils.

In addition to disciplinary processes, we also assist health practitioners when they are the subject of health, conduct and performance concerns, managed by the professional councils.
