Formal Complaint: Medical Ethics Breach by Queensland Health Director-General – TCDD Denial and Obstruction of Redress

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am submitting a formal international ethics complaint regarding a breach of medical ethics, public health duty, and international treaty obligations by Dr David Rosengren, the Director-General of Queensland Health, Australia.

On 4 July 2025, Dr Rosengren responded to my formal compensation claim for systemic harm linked to TCDD (dioxin) exposure inherited from my father’s Vietnam War service. His letter explicitly:

• Denies institutional liability despite clear documentation of chemical exposure, congenital abnormalities, and medical scans

• Refers responsibility to other bodies while refusing direct engagement

• Ignores the ethical duty to respond appropriately to known toxic harm

• Declares Queensland Health has “no obligation” to assist or investigate

This is a government health leader responding to a civilian with 17 diagnosed medical conditions, many of which are visible on imaging and linked internationally to TCDD exposure. My birth occurred during the high-risk post-deployment window, and I am one of many second-generation survivors. The patterns match global warnings from the UN, WHO, Stockholm Convention, and numerous scientific studies.

This isn’t a vague policy failure. It is a deliberate, signed refusal by the top health official in the state. It comes after national alerts were issued and after NICNAS, international treaties, and UN Special Rapporteurs flagged these exact failures.

I have submitted a full complaint to the International Criminal Court (ICC) under Article 15 of the Rome Statute, documenting these actions as part of a wider pattern of state-enabled chemical harm and redress obstruction.

Dr Rosengren’s letter, attached here, is now central evidence in that case. It demonstrates medical complicity, institutional evasion, and breach of international medical ethics.

I am asking your organisations to:

1. Acknowledge this case as a human rights violation tied to chemical harm

2. Investigate this as a breach of global medical ethics by a state medical authority

3. Refer Queensland Health and Dr Rosengren to formal accountability mechanisms

Attachments:

• Letter from Dr Rosengren, Queensland Health (4 July 2025)

• Birth certificate and military deployment record

• Medical scans and diagnoses

This is not just a personal case. It’s a global warning. When a Director-General says “we have no obligation” in the face of this much harm — it’s not just unethical. It’s criminal.

A formal complaint has been lodged with the International Criminal Court for Crimes against Humanity. The final submission was the 1st of July 2025.

Australia ratified International treaties but failed to implement them into domestic laws.
