RACP president accuses charity regulator of ‘victim-blaming’ after it extends her suspension
The college continues to be run by the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission.
The ban on the elected president of the RACP taking over as president will continue for another three months as she accuses the charity regulator now controlling the organisation of unfairly singling her out.
Dr Sharmila Chandran was due to become president on 18 May, but just 10 days before, the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission stepped in.
It followed months of turmoil, with two different groups at one stage claiming to be the college board.
The commission accused the Melbourne renal physician of breaking a prohibition on directly contacting RACP staff, thereby putting them at “serious risks to their psychological health and safety”.
