Nurse accused of working for IS in court

The committal hearing for a Melbourne nurse accused of working with Islamic State in Syria will hear from a US witness.

Adam Brookman, 39, appeared by video link in the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Monday on two terror-related charges, where Magistrate Elizabeth Lambden set a committal hearing date for April 12.

His lawyer Rob Stary said there would be three witnesses, including one from the US and the hearing should take two days.

Brookman was arrested by Australian Federal Police at Sydney Airport in July.

He is accused of knowingly providing support to IS by undertaking guard duty and reconnaissance between April 2010 and August 2014, court documents say.

A second charge relates to undertaking the guard and reconnaissance duty with the intention of supporting the terrorist organisation.

Brookman was remanded in custody to appear in court again for committal mention on March 9.
