The release is an ACNC briefing summary on the suspension of a Responsible Person of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (ABN 90 270 343 237). The Commissioner's delegate suspended Dr Sharmila Ramessur Chandran's appointment from 1:00pm on 18 May 2026 until 11:59pm on 20 September 2026, on the basis that the RACP is not complying with Governance Standard 5 under the ACNC Act. The grounds include an Improvement Notice issued by SafeWork NSW on 20 March 2026 under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (NSW), a Prohibition Notice issued on 5 May 2026 restricting Responsible People from contacting staff other than the CEO, and Dr Chandran's continued written contact with staff in breach of that notice. Susan Pascoe AM has been appointed Acting Responsible Person. The release contains no financial figures and no redactions are visible in the extracted text.
