Doctor Pleads Guilty to Secretly Filming 900 Hospital Colleagues in Toilets
A Melbourne doctor has admitted hiding his phone in hospital toilets and showers to record nearly 900 staff members without consent. Court documents say he amassed over 4,500 images and 160 videos of undressed colleagues across five sites since 2020, including Austin Hospital, Royal Melbourne Hospital and the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. He pleaded guilty to 13 charges such as producing intimate images, installing surveillance devices, stalking and failing to assist police. Authorities uncovered more than 10,000 files on his seized devices when he was arrested last July. The stalking charge involves one victim, from whom he secretly recorded 104 videos and 3,424 photos and accessed personal documents. He remains on bail until a pre-sentence hearing in November, with his medical licence suspended. Dozens of victims are now pursuing compensation from the hospitals for breaching privacy and failing to prevent the illicit recordings.
