I should image he needs to check out the state board and also speak to someone experienced in this area.

It's noble that you, as his friend, care.

But if he did indeed defraud the taxpayers of Australia, I have absolutley NO sympathy for him and the predicament he finds himself in.

Thanks I know what he done was wrong, and I will let him know to seek advice with someone who is more knowledgable

Continuation of registration following criminal conviction is decided on a case-by-case basis by the state board. I would suggest that he a) seek legal and/or union representation and b) notify the board (if he hasn't alredy done so) as soon as possible.

While I imagine it'll be fairly uncontroversial in this case, I think at least some of it depends on who's on the board and their agenda. Several years ago I heard through the grapevine about a nurse who inadvertently received CentreLink funding after she was employed - she realised the error, notified CentreLink as soon as she became aware of the error, and organised repayment. However, despite the fact that it was an oversight and was self-corrected, one very vocalmember of the board strongly pushed for suspension of registration.

Same as with the other forums here. We cannot offer legal advice to you to give to your friend. Each case is decided by the equivalent of the Board of Nursing for their region, and will be decided only by them.
