Banned doctor Bill Tolis faces court over steroid import charges

·

Bill Tolis, the 61-year-old former GP banned from providing health services in 2022, is facing court in April after Australian Border Force seized more than 200 vials of steroids at his Adelaide clinic.

Tolis, who previously practiced at Findon Clinic in Woodville South, has been charged with importing Tier 1 goods, including performance and image-enhancing drugs.

The South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal banned Tolis from practicing medicine and naturopathy for seven years after finding he had prescribed harmful medications, including anabolic steroids, and failed to maintain proper patient care.

AHPRA has warned that Tolis may still be providing health services, describing him as a “serious risk” to the public.

Outside court, Tolis denied importing steroids and said he was “just managing” the clinic, disputing claims he posed a risk.

Authorities continue to investigate, and providing health services while banned carries penalties of up to three years in prison or fines up to $60,000.
