Vaccination Breaches

In reply to the Hon. F. PANGALLO (1 July 2020).

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing): The Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services has advised:

The Commissioner of Police is aware a nurse was nominated as a suspect on two occasions in 2014 and 2017. However, due to insufficient evidence both matters were not further investigated.

The Commissioner of Police notes that the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency investigation and subsequent South Australian Civil and Administrative Appeals Tribunal hearing on 15 April 2020 would have been conducted using the balance of probabilities burden of proof threshold.
