A doctor who had a sexual relationship with a vulnerable patient, and paid her tens of thousands of dollars to keep quiet about it, has been found guilty of professional misconduct by the Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal.
A tribunal hearing held in August also heard allegations he had filmed himself having sex with the woman.
The man, identified only as Dr H, entered into a relationship with his patient - known as Ms Y - in 2008.
During their relationship, Dr H also prescribed an anti-depressant drug to Ms Y without "adequate clinical justification" and discharged her over the phone despite her "personality characteristics and vulnerabilities", the tribunal findings show.
When Ms Y was transferred to another doctor, Dr H continued to engage in a sexual relationship with her.
