A GP and ‘homeopathic physician’ who took his patient on a family holiday and accepted tens of thousands of dollars from her for school fees has been banned for five years.

Over the course of their 15-year therapeutic relationship, Dr Michael Cleary also hosted a birthday celebration for the woman, who he stressed had become a “virtual grandmother” to his family, the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal said.
