Welcome to the February 2015 edition of the Holman Webb Health Law Bulletin.

The West Australian Court of Appeal has recently handed down its decision in the case of Dekker v Medical Board of Australia commenting upon the obligation of a medical practitioner to act as a good Samaritan.

It has also been a time of change for the aged care sector and there have been some interesting employment law cases relevant to the health and aged care sectors, including a hospital being held in breach of anti-discrimination laws by preferring Australian medical school graduates.

We trust that this edition of the Health Law Bulletin brings to you articles of relevance to the sector.
