Doctor suspended from practising

A former Ocean Grove doctor who faces a string of sexual misconduct charges, has been suspended from practising for a second time.

Shafiul Milky, 56, faced Geelong Magistrates Court charged with 15 offences in November and has now had his registration suspended by the Medical Board of Australia.

The allegations stem from the time Dr Milky worked at Bellarine Peninsula Family Medical Practice in Ocean Grove.

Dr Milky had been seeing patients at Colac Medical Centre and Colac Central Medical Centre and the Mount Clear Medical Centre, near Ballarat.

Dr Milky has been charged with multiple offences including rape that have alleged to have occurred between September 2012 and February 2019.

He was suspended by the Medical Board of Australia in 2019, but it was reinstated, with conditions, by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) two months later after he appealed due to financial hardship. He was also banned from having any contact with female patients.

The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency updated Dr Milky’s registration status this week to “suspended”.

Dr Milky has denied all allegations and is due to face court again in March next year.
