Police end investigation into former gynaecologist Simon Gordon
The Melbourne gynaecologist is accused of performing unnecessary surgeries on women and was referred to police for then-Victorian premier Jacinta Allan in February.
Victoria Police has concluded its investigation into former gynaecologist Simon Gordon, who faces accusations of conducting unnecessary surgeries on women. The allegations were brought to the police's attention in February by then-premier Jacinta Allan, following a Four Corners investigation that uncovered concerns about Gordon's surgical practices.
In addition to the police investigation, the Medical Board of Australia referred Gordon to Victoria's civil tribunal, alleging professional misconduct. The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) also launched a fresh investigation into Gordon's past complaints and requested access to thousands of medical records and documents.
Dr Gordon retired from practice after Epworth Hospital, where he worked, learned in October 2025 that Four Corners was probing him. In December, he removed himself from AHPRA's register of practitioners.
