SA health care worker banned after cancer cure claims
A South Australian health care worker has failed in a bid to overturn a decision blocking him from practising after he made several false claims including that he cure cancer.
The South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (SACAT) has confirmed a lifetime ban on health care worker Adrian Fabio Mangini, who had previously abused vulnerable clients. Mangini claimed he could cure cancer and make a non-ambulatory woman walk, both of which were disproven by evidence. The tribunal upheld a previous decision by the Community Services Complaints Commissioner to indefinitely ban Mangini from practising as a health care worker.
SACAT found no evidence that Mangini's actions were motivated by a vendetta or racism. Mangini has appealed SACAT's decision to South Australia's Supreme Court.
