Ormiston Health Warning Issued After Man Banned From Practising

Ormiston families are being urged to stay alert after a local massage operator was banned for offering risky treatments without medical qualifications.

Health Services Deemed Unsafe

The Office of the Health Ombudsman named Ormiston man David Zhen, also known as Tai Hui Qing and Qing Jong, in a rare public safety alert on May 13, saying he continued treating clients despite a ban in place since June 2024.

The OHO said Zhen ran H2OMASSAGE from his Ormiston home, offering unregistered health services using unsafe methods and claiming to cure serious illnesses. He also discouraged clients from seeking proper medical care and ignored basic safety measures.

While the full extent of his activity isn’t known, authorities suspect he also treated people overseas, including in China. Because of the private nature of these services, some clients may not be aware they’ve received unapproved care.

Watchdog Takes Public Action

Zhen was banned in June 2024 from providing any health service in Queensland, under any name or business. But after he ignored the order, the Health Ombudsman issued a rare public statement to warn the community.

The OHO said Zhen’s actions posed a serious risk and urged anyone treated by him to stop immediately, seek proper medical advice, and contact their office.

Community Encouraged to Check Credentials

Residents in Ormiston and the Bayside area are urged to be cautious when choosing health providers. The Health Ombudsman recommends checking a provider’s registration through Ahpra or the OHO website.

The OHO said its focus is on protecting public safety, especially when someone continues to operate in defiance of orders that are meant to stop harm. By going public, they hope to prevent more people from unknowingly receiving treatment that isn’t safe or legal.

What Locals Can Do

Anyone who received treatment from Zhen or H2OMASSAGE should stop immediately, see a doctor, and report it to the OHO. Reports are handled confidentially.

Zhen’s case is a reminder of how important it is to know who is providing your care. Residents are encouraged to share this warning with neighbours, friends, and family, particularly those who may be less familiar with how to check if a health worker is qualified.
