Robert Doyle has quit as Melbourne Lord Mayor after being admitted to hospital amid investigations into alleged sexual harassment and indecent assault.


In December 2017, Mr Doyle was accused of sexual harassment and indecent assault by two women, including councillor Tessa Sullivan, who quit over the mayor's alleged behaviour.

His lawyer says he quit as mayor and as chairman of Melbourne Health after being admitted to hospital.
