Dr. Reza Adib, a well-known obesity surgeon in Australia and partner of former Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, has been suspended from practicing medicine due to serious allegations of rape. His medical registration was suspended on June 2, as indicated by the Office of the Health Ombudsman. Adib faces multiple charges, including three counts of rape, two counts of unlawful detention, and one count of sexual assault, all related to an alleged incident that occurred on March 30 at his Gold Coast unit. The alleged victim, who is nearly half Adib's age and also works in the medical industry, has led to him being prohibited from contacting her and other individuals under his bail conditions. Adib's next court appearance is scheduled for July 7, with a police brief of evidence due by June 23. Following these developments, UnitingCare confirmed that Adib is no longer an accredited surgeon at Wesley Hospital, where he was known for his weight-loss surgery clinic. His lawyer stated that Adib intends to vigorously defend the charges against him.
