Vic nurse allegedly linked to IS in court

The FBI has assisted in the case of a Melbourne nurse who allegedly worked with Islamic State in Syria, a court has heard.

Adam Brookman, who has been charged with two terror-related offences, is due to face a committal hearing next month.

A US woman is expected to participate in the hearing as a witness, the Melbourne Magistrates' Court has been told.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has given legal representatives in Brookman's case a summary of the evidence she could give, the court heard on Wednesday.

Brookman, 39, was arrested by Australian Federal Police at Sydney Airport last year.

The father of five was repatriated to Australia after he turned himself in to Turkish authorities.

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

It is alleged this support would help "prepare or foster" a terrorist act.

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

Facebook and Instagram records relating to Brookman's case have also been sought from the US, but likely won't be available in time for his two-day hearing from April 12, the court heard.

Brookman, who appeared in court on Wednesday via video link from prison, was remanded in custody ahead of the next mention of his matter later in March.
