A banned Victorian doctor who continued to treat patients while suspended will be forced to pay a record $100,000 fine.


Mohamad Faizal Anwar was suspended from practising medicine in August 2016 but continued to provide services to patients at the Victorian Cosmetic and Laser Clinic weeks later.

Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) chief executive Martin Fletcher says it's the largest fine against an individual in Australia for claiming to be a registered medical practioner.

He says it also makes clear that AH-PRA will use its full powers to prosecute anyone who is putting the public at risk
