Three Townsville Hospital and Health Service staff have been stood down as part of an ongoing investigation into workplace bullying and harassment. In October last year it was revealed staff concerns over a “toxic” work environment had left some employees suicidal and seeking psychological help. Since then, 26 staff members have come forward, including Jodi Miller who tried to take her own life twice as a direct result of the bullying. Independent assessors were engaged by the THHS board late last year to review the workplace bullying, with three staff members since suspended with pay. THHS board chairman Tony Mooney could not confirm the positions of those who had been suspended and for how long they had been suspended.
