In December 2020, a 30-year-old medical registrar died by suicide in Newcastle, New South Wales, shortly after being recalled from sick leave. The death has prompted his father to call for a Senate inquiry into systemic failures in junior doctor working conditions, mental health support, and workplace culture across Australian hospitals.
An ABC investigation has since verified at least 13 doctor suicides across NSW, Victoria, Queensland, and the ACT since 2016, with five occurring within the Hunter New England Health District alone.
Status: under investigation
