Dr. My Le Trinh (often written as Dr. MyLe Trinh or Dr Myle Trinh) is an Australian general practitioner (GP) with nearly 30 years of medical practice. She is originally from Cambodia, born in 1966, and survived the Khmer Rouge regime as a child. Her family later fled the communist regime in Vietnam before she immigrated to Australia.

In Australia, she excelled in her medical studies and became a respected GP, practicing for many years in areas like Castle Hill and Baulkham Hills in New South Wales (NSW). She built a reputation for dedicated service, including work serving underserved communities (such as in Cambodia for over a decade in some accounts), and maintained an unblemished record prior to recent events.

She gained public attention during the COVID-19 pandemic when, in 2021, she prescribed ivermectin to treat a COVID-19 patient. This led to complaints, an investigation by the Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC), and suspension of her medical registration by the Medical Council of NSW (under AHPRA, the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency). Supporters describe no reported patient harm from her actions, and view the suspension as an overreach or ideological targeting related to her willingness to use off-label treatments and challenge official COVID policies.

The case has involved ongoing legal proceedings, including tribunal hearings (e.g., NSWCATOD rulings in 2025 addressing procedural matters), appeals (some dismissed), and allegations of procedural unfairness or manufactured complaints. As of recent updates into 2025–2026, her suspension has continued for several years (approaching 4+ years in some discussions), with active petitions in her support calling for justice, reinstatement, and highlighting her integrity.

She has appeared in interviews and podcasts (e.g., on Co-opted Care, Club Grubbery, and others) sharing her story—from escaping communism and war to her current fight—framing it as a battle for medical freedom, professional autonomy, and truth in healthcare. She maintains an active presence on X (formerly Twitter) as @myletrinh123, where she posts about her case, convictions, and calls for support.

A Change.org petition supports her, emphasizing her dedication, compassion, and long career. She describes herself as standing firm on principles, drawing strength from her past hardships and faith.

Note that there appear to be other medical professionals with similar names (e.g., in Vietnam), but the Dr. My Le Trinh associated with this high-profile Australian case is the one described here. Her story has resonated particularly in communities critical of pandemic-era medical regulations.
