Shafiul Milky survivor Fran Millington speaks out

A survivor of GP Shafiul Milky, who committed multiple sexual offences against his patients, has detailed the trauma she suffered during her decade-long fight for justice.

Arnold Thomas & Becker lawyer Jodie Harris said as more women came forward, the firm’s investigations indicated there had been a number of complaints made to Peninsula Family Medical Practice and AHPRA.

“We are now looking into what the medical practice and AHPRA had done to protect female patients,” she said.

A number of these women have alleged Milky was strongly advocating for breast examinations or internal vaginal examination even when these procedures were not related to the reason they had scheduled a medical appointment, the firm said.

“We have also heard from a number of women that Dr Milky was overprescribing breast examinations and Pap smears,” she said.

“Some of our clients have advised that Dr Milky led them to believe that their health was at risk and that they should have these procedures immediately.”

Testimonials

I’d been living the dream my entire life and it all came crashing down. When I was faced with a legal issue, I didn’t know where to start as far as making a claim. I saw an ad on TV saying give “Arnold Thomas & Becker a call…” so I did. 

After speaking with Lee Flanagan and listening to his knowledge of law, I felt at ease as he understood my situation and my occupation as a Professional Athlete.  I decided then and there this was the right law firm for me.

The fact that Lee was also a surfer and understood how I earned an income from surfing made all the difference.  

 My lawyers Lee Flanagan and Aki Munir are experts in their field and they certainly proved that.  Their legal assistant Lucy Maher was always on the ball and kept me informed throughout my claim.

 Initially I had approached another well-known law firm (who I was told were the best), but they just didn’t get it.  

I’m so grateful to the Arnold Thomas & Becker team – they achieved an incredible outcome for me.  I’m relieved to put all this behind me and start my life again.
