Windaroo Medical Surgery, trading as Loganholme Medical Surgery in south of Brisbane, has fallen into controversy as a trial has been launched recently by the The Fair Work Ombudsman against the medical practice.

According to the confirmations revealed by nation’s workplace watchdog, the operators of Queensland medical practice withheld the pay of an Indian doctor, Dr. Venkata Kaza, who was being sponsored by the Windaroo Medical Surgery to work at the practice on a medical practitioner visa in Singapore.

Reports have also confirmed that Windaroo medical practice even threatened the Indian doctor to make his life 'miserable' if he complained to any authorities.

Fair Work Ombudsman is prosecuting the medical practice. Directions hearing is scheduled on October 6 and Windaroo Medical Surgery Pty Ltd's sole Director Sheila Pathmanathan and Dr. Tam Thi Thanh Tran, a senior doctor and supervisor at the Loganholme practice, will be facing the court on the date.

Amount of $275,000 has been decided to be compensated to the Indian doctor, who was threatened of reporting unspecified patients complaints against him to the Queensland medical board, if he did not withdrew his complaints.

Though the doctor has returned to India in May last year with a good amount of pay owed to him, prosecutions will still run because of the seriousness of the allegations.
