A Hobart GP fronted court on Monday charged with making, supplying, and illegally prescribing drugs out of his Mount Nelson clinic.
Clive Rohan Stack fronted Hobart Magistrates Court on Monday morning following a police investigation into his Mt Nelson Medical Centre.
Dr Stack was one of two men charged by police with offences under the Poisons Act and Misuse of Drugs Act.
Detective Inspector Adam Mollineaux of Southern Drug Investigation said the arrests came after a police investigation.
“Police will allege that the men obtained prescriptions through false conduct and unlawfully made and supplied narcotic substances,” Mr Mollineaux said.
Dr Stack’s case was adjourned without plea on Monday and he is due to reappear in front of the magistrate on September 13.
He is charged with one count of Fail to keep Narcotic Substances Register in Accordance with Regulations, nine counts of Make available drugs of dependence for a period longer that the prescribed period, seven counts of Prescription for certain narcotic substances to be issued only on authority of Secretary, 19 counts of Issue prescription for restricted substance for an unauthorised purpose, and six counts of Unlawfully supply narcotic substance.
The Mt Nelson Medical Centre is run by Dr Stack through the charity Humanitas, which he founded.
According to the Humanitas website the charity was founded by Dr Stack in 1992 while he was working on his “Physiology of the Soul” project.
The website lists a series of other projects including a “wellness centre” and the development of a new painkiller drug.
“Humanitas Trust has been working in conjunction with researchers and developers over the past five years for research and development into the development of a novel non-addictive pain killer that can be used in both dependent and non drug dependent people both safely and effectively,” the website says.
