US EditionArrest Made After Hidden Camera Found in RIC Bathroom
MELBOURNE, VICTORIA, JUL 9 – A junior doctor faces extended medical practice ban after a mobile phone camera was found allegedly recording women in a restricted staff toilet, police said.
- In early July 2025, a 27-year-old trainee surgeon employed at Melbourne’s Austin Hospital was taken into custody after a concealed mobile phone camera was discovered inside a staff-only toilet.
- The arrest followed staff reporting suspicious activity and authorities executing a raid at the surgeon's home in Heidelberg West on July 10, 2025.
- Jodie Geissler, the head of Austin Health, informed employees through an internal email about the incident, confirming that the hospital had alerted Victoria Police and focused on supporting staff who may have been affected.
- District Attorney Anne Donnelly described the case as "disgusting" and noted authorities are reviewing devices to identify victims, while a former Northwell Health employee faces charges for similar illegal recordings in New York.
- These arrests highlight ongoing concerns about privacy breaches in healthcare, prompting legal actions and commitments from hospitals to enhance safety and provide updates as investigations continue.
