ACA reporter McCormack remains in hospital

The Nine Network journalist facing child pornography charges could have his bail conditions changed while he remains in a Sydney hospital for an unspecified condition.

A Current Affair reporter Ben McCormack has been charged with sending child pornography material and is facing accusations he spoke about children in a sexually explicit way in conversations with another man.

McCormack has been suspended by the network and is on conditional bail after being arrested last week following police raids on the ACA's Sydney office.

His lawyer Sam Macedone says his client took himself to hospital on the weekend but could not comment on the reason for his admission.

"I'm sure he's been looked after," Mr Macedone told AAP on Tuesday.

Mr Macedone will have to alter his client's bail conditions and will approach the court likely on Wednesday to seek a variation.

"He's not going to be able to report while he's in hospital," he said.

"You can't do what you can't do."

McCormack is scheduled to appear at Downing Centre Local Court on May 1.
