Why doctors come to ORMA
The medical context, taken seriously
We work with general practitioners, specialists, surgeons, and dentists across Australia. Every matter respects the professional and confidentiality considerations of the practice.
Confidential by default
No professional details disclosed beyond what you choose to share.
Coordinated with counsel
We work alongside your existing legal team or PI insurer where matters involve legal pathways.
AHPRA-aware
Familiar with how AHPRA notifications, registers, and patient complaints surface online.
What we help with
If any of these sound familiar, we can help
Most practitioners come to us with several issues at once. We address them in parallel. The longer damaging content sits on page one of searches for your name, the harder it is to shift.
Damaging HealthEngine or RateMD reviews
Patient reviews containing factual inaccuracies, breaches of confidentiality, or defamatory claims surfacing on branded searches for your name or practice.
AHPRA-related content in search results
Old register entries, news coverage of historical notifications, or commentary about conditions placed on practice surfacing on page one for your name.
Old or damaging news coverage
Articles about historical proceedings, matters that were dismissed or never proceeded, inaccurate reporting, or wire-syndicated coverage still ranking for your name years later.
Defamatory blog or forum posts
Posts on Reddit, Australian online forums, or independent blogs where defamation grounds exist under Australian law.
Personal data on data-broker sites
Your home address, family details, or contact information appearing on people-search aggregators you never signed up for.
Competitor disinformation
False or misleading content about your practice posted by competing clinics or disgruntled individuals.
How we pursue removal
From assessment to outcome
Every matter starts with a free assessment by our Australian team. We look at exactly what patients, referrers, and hospital credentialing committees see when they search your name, then map the realistic options across removal and suppression. Within one business day you have a clear view of what each platform, review site, and publisher will and will not move on.
Free assessment
Send us the HealthEngine reviews, RateMD-style listings, AHPRA-related articles, or forum posts that concern you. Within 24 hours an Australian specialist outlines the realistic options.
Tailored strategy
Built around the specific review platforms and publishers involved, the grounds that apply, and your clinic or hospital context. Coordinated with your legal counsel or PI insurer's panel lawyer where a matter has legal grounds.
Action
Platform takedown requests to the review sites, defamation and confidentiality pathways, publisher right-of-reply, and search suppression. We work several pathways for your name and clinic in parallel.
Ongoing protection
We monitor for new reviews and articles tied to your name and reinforce the accurate footprint as your practice, locations, and patient base grow.
When removal isn't possible
Push the damaging results below the fold for your name
Honest patient reviews, AHPRA public register entries, and factually accurate news sometimes can't be removed. In those cases, search suppression is the path: accurate, authoritative content under your name that outranks the damaging results when patients and referrers search for your clinic.
Popular questions
Questions practitioners ask
If your question isn't here, ask us during the free assessment.
Can you address a negative HealthEngine or RateMD review?
Sometimes. Reviews can be addressed where they breach the platform's content policy (false claims, defamation, identification of clinical details, breach of confidentiality) or where defamation grounds exist under Australian law. The free 24-hour assessment looks at the specific review and outlines the realistic options. Where removal isn't viable, search suppression makes the review far less visible on branded queries for your name or clinic.
What about AHPRA register entries appearing in search results?
AHPRA register entries are public records and can't be removed at the source. However, the visibility of those entries on branded searches (your name) can often be reduced through search suppression: building a stronger footprint of accurate, authoritative content under your name. Some AHPRA-related coverage (commentary, articles, forum discussions) may have separate removal pathways depending on grounds.
How long does it take to address damaging content?
Most engagements run 3 to 12 months depending on the platforms involved, whether legal pathways apply, and how entrenched the existing content is. The free assessment within one business day gives you a realistic timeline before you commit to anything.
Do you work alongside my legal counsel?
Yes. For defamation, confidentiality breaches, or other matters with legal grounds, we coordinate with your nominated legal counsel, including any panel lawyer appointed by your PI insurer. We don't provide legal advice ourselves; we work alongside lawyers where their input is essential to the takedown pathway.
Is the assessment confidential?
Yes. Confidential and no obligation. We understand AHPRA notification status and patient complaints are sensitive professional matters. The free assessment doesn't require you to disclose more than the specific content you're concerned about.
Can you help with old news coverage of a matter that was dismissed?
Sometimes. Where coverage of a matter that was withdrawn, dismissed, or never proceeded remains live and uncorrected, we approach the publisher with right-of-reply or update requests. Where editorial cooperation isn't forthcoming, suppression strategies push the article off page one of searches for your name. Outcomes depend on the publisher, the specific facts, and applicable defamation law.
