The Federal Court has ruled refugees and asylum seekers can be transferred to Australia under Medivac laws without personal consultation from doctors in Australia. The decision overrules a key measure in the original legislation, which the government claims will ‘opens the floodgates’.
Under the fresh laws, which took effect from March 1, two doctors were required to consult a patient on Manus Island or Nauru before they could recommend a transfer to Australia. Two doctors can now simply look at a patient’s file and recommend a transfer. Justice Mordecai Bromberg ruled that ‘I would not conclude from the available textual and contextual indications that personal engagement between the “treating doctor” and the transitory was intended as a mandatory requirement’.
