澳大利亚卫生从业者监管机构向反犹太主义委员会报告指出，医疗工作者在社交媒体上的歧视性言论正在阻止犹太患者寻求必要的医疗护理。[1]该机构首席执行官贾斯汀·翁特施泰纳表示，"这可能导致需要护理的患者得不到所需护理"。[1]
根据2023年10月至2024年初的调查，社交媒体与40-45%的种族歧视或歧视投诉相关，但在反犹太主义或伊斯兰恐惧症投诉中，这一比例显著上升至85%。[1]监管机构强调，医疗工作者在社交媒体上的言论具有公众性质，可能严重破坏患者对医疗体系的信任。[1]
澳大利亚反犹太主义事件在2022-2025年间增加了246%，增幅为七个最大犹太社区所在国家中最大的。[1]截至2025年，澳大利亚每1000名犹太居民中有14起反犹太主义事件，为全球第二高。[1]
Australia's health practitioner regulator has reported to an antisemitism committee that discriminatory social media posts by doctors are discouraging Jewish patients from seeking medical care.[1] An investigation spanning October 2023 to early 2024 found that social media accounts for 40-45% of racial discrimination or vilification complaints overall, but this proportion rises to 85% specifically in antisemitic or Islamophobic complaints.[1]
The regulator emphasized that healthcare workers' statements on social media carry a public character and can undermine patient trust in the medical system.[1] Chief Executive Justin Untersteiner stated: "This may result in patients who need care not receiving the care they require."[1]
Australia has experienced a 246% increase in antisemitic incidents between 2022 and 2025, the largest rise among the seven countries with the largest Jewish diaspora communities.[1] In 2025, Australia recorded 14 incidents per 1,000 Jewish residents, representing the second-highest rate globally.[1]
