Dr. John Stuchbery, a highly respected specialist surgeon, has been providing invaluable medical services to the Albury-Wodonga community for decades. His dedication and expertise have not only enhanced the standard of healthcare in our area but have also earned him the respect and trust of patients and medical professionals alike.

Recently, the board of Albury Wodonga Health made a unilateral decision to revoke Dr. Stuchbery's clinical privileges in the public hospital system as of November 7, 2025. This decision was made without sufficient consultation with the medical community or consideration of the widespread impacts on patient care across the region.

Dr. Stuchbery's work is integral to the well-being of our community. Removing his access to practice within the public hospital domain undermines the quality of care available to the Albury-Wodonga area's residents, many of whom depend on his expertise for crucial surgical procedures.

The loss of his clinical privileges is not only a betrayal to Dr. Stuchbery's commitment but is likely to lead to increased wait times and compromised health outcomes. Our community cannot stand by as a decision is made that will detrimentally affect the standard of health services in our area.

Therefore, we call upon Albury Wodonga Health to reconsider this decision and take into account the deep-rooted impact it will have on the community.
