A doctor has been arrested after allegedly filming colleagues in a staff toilet at a major Melbourne hospital.

Police allege the 27-year-old used a phone to record in a restricted staff bathroom at Austin Hospital in Heidelberg on July 3.

The device is believed to have been in place “for some time” before staff reported it, police said.
