A man faces multiple police and regulatory charges after being accused of pretending to be a nurse in facilities across Australia.
Nicholas William Crawford, 30, appeared in court on Thursday after Queensland police laid more than 110 police charges relating to his time at a facility at Aurukun earlier this year.
He also faced three charges filed by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) involving a remote Cape York Indigenous community.
Williams is accused of unlawfully using the protected titles 'nurse' and `registered nurse' and of "holding himself out" as being a registered practitioner, the Cairns Magistrates Court heard.
Police allege Crawford administered drugs to children and assaulted patients over 60 during six weeks in Aurukun.
The police matter was adjourned until September 2 and the AHPRA matter to December 10.
