A man has been charged with preparing a terrorist act following police raids in Melbourne.

Victoria's Joint Counter Terrorism Team says the 31-year-old man from Baybrook, who was arrested on Saturday, has been charged with collecting or making documents likely to facilitate a terrorist act and planning or preparing for a terrorist act.

He's expected to appear at Melbourne Magistrate's court later on Sunday.
