Australian Craniofacial Unit

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:29): A supplementary question arising from the answer: who conducted that independent review, and was that independent review addressing concerns that Dr Ben Grave, a senior oral surgeon, was pushed out of his position as a visiting medical officer at the unit without even an interview?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:30): The independent review, as I said, was undertaken by a senior officer, a corporate services officer, at the Department of Human Services. I understand that her name is Ms Melissa Kaharevic. Certainly, the request that I made focused on the selection process, which involved Dr Grave, and I look forward to those issues being addressed in the review. As I said, it was received earlier today in my office and I look forward to considering it.
