Petition Update 1st October 2025
Time = EVERYTHING
❤️🩹Not every surgeon can save someone’s life. Many surgeons offer a “biopsy” which helps with targeted treatment to help extend or possibly reduce the tumour/s.
🧠On many occasions some Brain Tumours are combined with healthy tissue and vital structures that can impact “quality” and “quantity” of life.
👨⚕️ Professor Teo has an above average understanding on “diffused” parts of tumours and sections that are not. Remembering the “eye” can only see what it sees. Cancer cells love to hide, even through thorough imaging and testing.
🙌There are MANY reason Professor Teo has a Full Licence still, can full operate in Australia (even after the media storm from one outlet) It’s because EVERYONE deemed Professor Teo a Good Surgeon. So why can’t 1 Patient get access in Australia?
👀Look at Brooke’s story above. 7 extra years (never ever long enough) but 7 years to create, make and cherish memories with her children, family and friends . May you RIP beautiful Brooke ❤️ It doesn’t just take an experienced Surgeon, it also take an “active and trusting patient” to fight so hard. We admire your strength to make such decisions and to show other how IMPORTANT life is.
🗣There have been significant “Surgical” and “Treatment” advancements that have occurred because of Professor Teo and Australians and First Nations people have ceased receiving access in Australia. This has occurred since Professor Teo’s “restrictions” were put in place. Which coincidentally and deliberately ensured he currently cannot operate in Australia 🇦🇺
Others such as.
👉Being able to operate on reoccurring Brain Tumours- which some have a mutation/reoccurring component to their tumour.
👉Not being able to focus solely on “full resection” of the Brain Tumour/s - which everyone knows in the Community is a persons best chance at fighting this hideous disease.
👉Reduced Surgical Research 🔬 regarding brain stem tumours. Where many years ago they wouldn’t even “think” to operate in some of these sections of the brain.
👉 Unimaginable Surgical Incisions affecting recovery and infection rates. Some are sutured from ear to ear with staples. Where as “Keyhole” Brain Surgery you have 6-10 stitches. Easily kept safe and clean. With reduced outside incision pain levels and uncomfortableness.
👉 Reduce Infections and post op complications relating to healing. Especially for those over 50+ years of age or those with underlying healing/DNA issues.
👉 Opens up the option to operate on someone who may not be physically able to heal from an open full craniotomy.
There are MANY reason Professor Teo has a Full Licence still, can operate (even after the media storm from one outlet) It’s because EVERYONE deemed Professor Teo a Good Surgeon. Not one Surgeon said Professor Teo did NOT lack the skills. People turned up by the drones to support Dr Teo at the hearing, and why would Spain 🇪🇸 China 🇨🇳 Ethiopia 🇪🇹 and many other Countries welcome Professor Charlie Teo with open arms.
WHY ARE NEUROSURGEONS INTERNATIONALLY VOUCHING and SUPPORTING PROFESSOR TEO but NOT ONE NEUROSURGEON HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL in AUSTRALIA. EVEN WHEN THEY WANT?
👆One answer is being “ostracised or bullied” by their peers/industry members, the other blockages are Internal “MDT Meetings” where decisions are made on your family members life without being present, then fighting the “Hospital Boards” and all while “Insurance Companies” deny cases, with the internal “Lawyers” draining Hospital funds and Tax payers dollars 💵
🗣If you were in the Profession would you stand up? No is the standard answer. Why loose everything you’ve worked hard for, For that 1 Patient? Thank God Professor Teo challenged the “status quo” “stood up for that 1 patient” otherwise many wouldn’t be here today enjoying LIFE.
🙏Us Australian’s and our First Nations people deserve and have a right to access one of our own Neurosurgeons. We deserve the right to say who we relate to, who had a bedside manner that eases your concerns, someone that treats you like a person not a UR Hospital Number, someone who outlines EVERY risk and doesn’t just shove an indemnity form in your face while your drugged up, someone who openly admits when he doesn’t know something. Someone who’s Worked, Raised a Family, Defined his “gut feeling” “skill” and listened to his “patients” rather the lack of text book studies…. Then to developing his “Keyhole” technique, offering skills and training to up and coming Surgeons, and also…..
Professor Teo hasn’t allowed “others” to define him as a person even after every trial and tribulation that he faces daily.
Dr Teo is still standing! Still advancing! Still operating! Still has a Full License! 🗣So ASK the question of your treating Dr’s and Hospital….
Why can’t I have access to Dr Teo? There would be no cost to the Patient.
There would be no Go Fund Me’s.
Patients would be at home with their families and not overseas in a foreign country.
They would have post op care also!
NOW WOULDN’T THAT BE THE ULTIMATE ENVIRONMENT FOR A SUCCESSFUL RECOVERY ❤️🩹 FROM MAJOR BRAIN SURGERY 🧠
MANY have noted a COMMON THEME with some of Professor Teo’s Patients.
“We have seen many have lost their battle with Brain Cancer and some Benign Brain Tumours since the restrictions were applied to Professor Teo. Especially those with recurring Brain Tumours”
Why?
Aren’t these patients lives worth the time and effort?
Our ANSWER is YES 🙌 they are! That’s why we will keep fighting and advancing our Countries Healthcare system. Part of that requires Professor Teo.

🙏RIP Brooke and sending love and prayers to your children Taylah, Caden and the entire family ❤️ Brooke’s memory will forever live on….. in your hearts and many others.
🗣Let’s keep sharing this Petition for families alike Brooke and for her children! It’s to important not to allow another good, ethical and caring Dr to be bullied or forced out of his own Country, Career and Profession.
Thanks to each and every person that has supported, shared this petition, signed, commented and most of all believed in Professor Teo as much as we all do! THANKYOU 🙏
