Australian woman convicted after pretending to be doctor on social media

The crime imho is not cosplaying as a doctor on Instagram but applying for medical jobs with a fake resume with fake degrees
I see nothing wrong on the screenshots of the now deleted Instagram profile, she's doing paid modeling "this nail polish is so pretty", "this scrub is so comfy" or saying the usual bullshit "remember to eat 2 fruit a day" but nowhere where she's claiming to be a doctor or giving dangerous medical advice. Less dangerous than "doctor" Oz in the States.
if you get a job as a project manager in an hospital just because you knew that they didn't check and lied to have 3 medical degrees, that's a worse problem
the Facebook post has definitely got some misleading wording, though. "Trust me I know many physicians delay self care when we have 100 items on our plate", for example, sounds like she's trying to imply that she's one of the physicians without explicitly saying it.
Yes, but the point is that, afaik, that is not a crime, no?
Misrepresentation membership to a professional organisation that's regulated (in this case, Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency regulates it) is illegal.
Ah wow, I didn't know that, thanks!
Doctor Oz is actually a doctor though, despite everything. Used to be one of the most respected cardiothoracic surgeons in the world. Then his tv show happened...
While that is different... That is much more frightening to consider.
It kinda is. The dude could probably take out your lungs and heart with his eyes closed. But he got corrupted.

To be fair, so could I.
Reminds me of a great pair of line from a Warren Zevon song: "I can saw a woman in two, but you won't want to look in the box when I'm through."
And "Dr" Phil.
