Psychologist admitted to supplying or offering crystal meth, amphetamine and Xanax to a patient on multiple occasions
A psychologist who supplied crystal methamphetamine to a patient and asked others to take urine tests on her behalf to hide her own drug use has been banned for seven years.
The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, led by presiding member Jonathan Smithers, found Cassar engaged in professional misconduct in relation to six allegations spanning from January 2016 to March 2019. The tribunal noted that the five years Cassar did not practise for was a “long suspension” but said the lengthy timeframe was contributed to significantly by her dishonest responses.
