Hospital responds to report
Colac Area Health has issued an apology for the “fake patients” incident in the wake of a Health Department investigation.
“Fake patients” investigation complete

CEO to stay for investigation
Colac Area Health chief Fiona Brew has decided to continue working at Colac until the investigation into allegations made public last week are complete, rather than starting at Portland District Health today.
