GP Dr Jereth Kok, who has spent almost six years suspended under emergency powers, has been found guilty of professional misconduct over 54 online posts.

Almost a year after hearing the case, the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal published its findings on Friday, including that Dr Kok had denigrated the LGBTQI+ community by suggesting that homosexuality was a medical disorder.

It found that Dr Kok had “expressed sentiments of violence” towards racial groups and that some of his posts about COVID-19 “contained misleading information”, including by claiming that corners were cut in vaccine development.

Of 85 posts the tribunal considered, it said the Medical Board of Australia’s allegations were not made out regarding 31, including posts that were political or religious commentary, or did not contain the alleged meanings.
