The Bendigo Health board says the investigation into chief executive officer John Mulder has been delayed.
The board hoped to have legal advice going into tomorrow’s board meeting, but lawyers had experienced delays in obtaining information relating to the employment law investigation.
“Unfortunately they have had a delay in obtaining certain information and have informed us that their advice will be delayed,” Bendigo Health chairman Bob Cameron said in a statement.
“Let me assure you this is a priority and the board will act as soon as we have the advice.”
Mr Mulder stood down from his position with Bendigo Health in February.
A report stemming from an investigation into Bendigo Health by the state’s Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission was tabled in parliament in March.
The commission made a number of findings including that Mr Mulder “engaged in conduct contrary to the Victorian Public Sector Code of Conduct and Bendigo Health’s stated organisational values”.
Findings also identified “organisational and systemic corruption vulnerabilities at Bendigo Health that facilitated this conduct”.
