In another, he marks up a patient in a theatre while someone plays the piano. “Social media is a huge factor in the cosmetic industry. You’re the best.’ They’ll frequently, or they have in the past, shared those testimonials – which is in breach of the guidelines,” Johnstone said.

Our client's clinics adhere to and apply a policy that governs how he and his staff use social media in relation to our client's clinics. As with any business (including Nine's business), if our client and a patient reach a settlement agreement, the terms of those agreements are confidential. Our client posts photos to social media to ensure that prospective patients have a realistic expectation of cosmetic procedures including recovery times, inherent risks in all surgeries, and, if any such photos are posted on social media, it is done so with the patient's consent. Our client's company rents the premises where his Brisbane clinic is located under a lease, which is currently subject to negotiation with Daniel Lanzer. Daniel Lanzer is the director of the landlord, Parkview Place Pty Ltd. Wells Capital Pty Ltd and Arrowcreek Proprietary Limited are the registered owners of our client's Gold Coast clinic. lt would be manifestly unreasonable and evidence of wilful blindness and malice for you to publish specific allegations about our client, his patients or his clinics that he cannot respond to or that he cannot respond to without breaching his legal and ethical duties to maintain the confidence of his patients. Our client is unable in the absence of this specific information to provide a full response to this question. Our client repeats his request for full particulars of any allegations you may publish about him, his patients or his clinics and evidence of any specific patient's consent to disclose their confidential information for the purpose of your publications. The Environmental Cleaning policy sets out the procedures and policy for cleaning the clinics' environments to the standards required by the regulations. Our client and staff at his clinics adhere to all relevant laws and regulations in relation to hygiene and safety practices that apply to his clinics. Our client does not hold any concerns with the standard of hygiene and safety practices at his clinics. We also offer our patients the opportunity to participate in a further complimentary consultation with a different doctor to discuss risk and any other concerns they may have. I appreciate and respect the role of the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). I will provide any assistance necessary in order for AHPRA to carry out its functions.
