A St Leonards woman will plead guilty to deception charges arising from her stint as a community health worker on the Bellarine Peninsula. Fiona Provan resigned as dental services co-ordinator at Bellarine Community Health two years ago, and fronted Geelong Magistrates’ Court yesterday facing more than 190 counts of obtaining property by deception. Her lawyer told the court there were some matters of contention with those charges, but the woman intended to plead guilty. Magistrate Peter Mellas ordered Provan return to court on July 4, when it’s envisaged the allegations against her will be resolved. Provan, aged in her 40s, was charged by detectives in January after a police investigation that started about 14 months earlier. She worked at BCH for 12 years before resigning in May, 2016. The organisation initially dealt with the allegations against her in-house, but belatedly referred the matter to police after being criticised for how it handled the controversy.
