Entire clinics could face shut down in New South Wales.
NEW SHUT DOWN POWERS
The New South Wales health watchdog has been given the power to shut alternative health clinics, including naturopaths and chiropractors, for not complying with its code of conduct.
Powers that came into effect this month expand the role of the Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC) to allow it to issue a prohibition order against an entire clinic, rather than just a practitioner.
NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard said the new rules, part of the Public Health Regulation 2022, would better ‘protect patients’ in a growing area of health services.
“These changes enable the HCCC to use their powers to prohibit health organisations from operating where they pose a risk to the health or safety of the public.
This is an important, additional step that enables the HCCC to take firm action to protect the community from health organisations which flout the rules and do not provide services in a safe and ethical way.”
Under the new amendment, the HCCC will have the power to issue a prohibition order to clinics offering services such as massage therapy, naturopathy, osteopathy, chiropractic and other alternative healthcare services not complying with the code.
NSW Health cites ‘data’ showing an increasing number of complaints being made by patients.
The new power, funnily enough, does not extend to public health organisations, aged care services and licensed private health facilities.
“These services are already governed by other legislation that ensures quality assurance, and as such the HCCC is not responsible for taking action against these entities,” the minister’s office said in a statement.
CEO of the Australian Patients Association Stephen Mason told reporters that alternative health organisations “shouldn’t be outside the scope” of the watchdog and praised the reform.
The announcement is the latest blow in an ongoing attack against alternative health services in recent years, and reeks of more moves by the establishment to control medicine at all levels.
ALTERNATIVE HEALTH ATTACK
We have seen moves in recent years to restrict alternative medicines and practices right here at home.
In 2019, the federal government has passed health insurance reform laws that put an end to public and private health cover for a wide range of natural therapies, such as Herbalism, Yoga, Homeopathy, Naturopathy and more.
Authorities announced they would no longer subsidise for a range of natural treatments, and health insurers will no longer be able to provide cover for “non-permitted therapies”, despite them accounting for less than 1% of all benefits paid.
The moves began in 2015 when a government report concluded that 17 natural therapies offered through health insurance “hadn’t been proven to work on patients”.
This policy, based on flawed reviews undertaken by the National Health & Medical Research Council (NHMRC), formally justified rebate cuts for Natural Therapies, which had already been pre-determined before the reviews had commenced.
In 2017, the Health Department released a report on the conducted reviews, examining “the evidence of clinical efficacy, cost effectiveness, safety and quality of natural therapies”, concluding that most treatments “have been found to not be underpinned by an evidence base”.
This dismissal of alternative methods was amplified during the pandemic period.
What Doctors Don’t Tell You, a magazine that publishes the alternative healthcare news, alongside information on therapies and medicines, was pulled from supermarket shelves in 2020.
This move was made after radio host Ben Fordham slammed it as “dangerous and misleading”.
As many people begin to realise the mass deceptions and influence of Big Pharma, it seems authorities want to ensure that any alternative is quickly squashed out from the mainstream and not given support.
Of course, many communities will continue these practices.
However, any contention as ‘legitimate’ in the public space will be diminished year-by-year.
Now with the powers to completely shut down a practice or business – one that isn’t even relying on support or subsidies from the government.
We have seen these shut down powers at work during the pandemic.
Shame, government. Shame.

Yet another illustration of one of the things we learned during the corona coup:
THE SYSTEM will stop at nothing to hold on to its power and, if possible, increase its levels of control and exploitation. It has no scruples. No lie is too outrageous, no hypocrisy too nauseating, no human sacrifice too great [e.g. the covid quax].
“The Health Hazzard” and his other pHARMa lackeys in the Orwellian NSW “Health” deserve to spend the rest of their miserable lives in prison.
HCCC again given POWERS to shut down numerous individuals and or clinics in the Alternative health side of real HEALTH care.
This is OUTRAGOUS…. and NSW again.. who remembers the same “authority” attempting to legislate this :- “NSW Inquiry into the promotion of false or misleading Health related information or Practices”
They wanted NO ONE besides a Health Professional that MAY speak about or disseminate any information about HEALTH>>> lucky there was a lot of submissions where people could objecting .. Well many people made submissions and it was worth it. BUT now again we have to fight this authoritarian stand over tack ticksl
This too must be objected to.. BUT how to do this… if there is NO submissions offered…. Looks like this state remembers the many objections from last time … SO who is out there that can assist in a petition / submission… what ever to have this reversed or NOT legislated if it hasn’t gone through every cornier yet>? Maybe Mr Tott can assist with a page / petition for people to be able to object to another insanity law.. and to be able to tell the NSW PREMIER to reign in his “office staff” OR better sack them as they seem to be working for somebody else! Looks like our “leaders” are proving again, that they don’t know what their office staff are organising under their noses but as they seem to be working for Big Pharma.. and NOT the people that voted this government into office…they should all be removed at once. AND personally I would like the names of ALL staff that worked the details out and approved this!!!

With WHAT authority? The so called Health Minister cannot give himself or his minions power. The legislature must pass it, the governor must sign it into Law in the correct way assuming the governor was correctly appointed and using the correct process. All can be challenged and THEY must provide the VERIFIABLE evidence of THEIR claims.
Forget submissions, petitions and complaints, you are asking a hungry shark not to bite you. Demands evidence to support THEIR claims – or THEIR claims fail. END
Of course Brad (health) Hazzard is behind all this.
Has anyone pointed out to him that the Covid vax “hadn’t been proven to work on patients” either?
That didn’t stop them ramming it down everyone’s throat.
It’s clear that they’ve lost all credibility and can’t handle any competition.
People might be healed by alternative medicine now that main stream big pharma medicine has lost all credibility and has been proven to Injure and kill people with their witches brews.
We can’t have that so they do what they do best. Kill!
Killing off the competition…. And anyone else who’s foolish enough to trust them.
Very good. As regards witches’ brew if I am allowed, may I present my take on Macbeth.
