A 27-year-old man will be charged with another 775 offences today as police investigate illegal recordings made at multiple Melbourne hospitals.

The man was initially charged with 133 offences in July and August this year, after a mobile phone was allegedly used as a recording device in staff toilets at Austin Hospital, Royal Melbourne Hospital, and the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.

Police say they have not uncovered any more offences at any other facilities, and they don't expect to identify any more victims.
