Melbourne psychologist Scott Barnett is suspended from practising after findings that he acted inappropriately toward patients and harassed others, according to multiple Australian outlets. The reports say Barnett’s suspension follows determinations he engaged in sexual or otherwise inappropriate conduct involving five vulnerable female patients. They also state that Barnett’s conduct extended beyond patients, including harassment of others. The coverage is consistent in describing the same individual and the same scope of alleged misconduct, focusing on professional boundary violations and the involvement of multiple vulnerable patients. While the articles confirm the suspension and the general nature of the findings, they provide limited additional detail about the process or the specific allegations beyond characterising the conduct as sexual assault or inappropriate conduct and describing accompanying harassment. The reporting does not indicate any criminal trial outcome in the excerpts provided, and it frames the matter primarily as a professional disciplinary or regulatory decision resulting in suspension.
