A Darwin man, who was jailed for fraud and forgery in Queensland, has been extradited to the Northern Territory to face fresh charges. Nicholas William Crawford, 31, will face Darwin Local Court on Monday morning, after police allege he worked as a nurse in remote communities around the NT, as well as at the Royal Darwin Hospital, without any nursing training. Crawford, who was arrested in Queensland for the NT Police as he was released on parole, became known to NT Police when it was alleged he completed five night shifts as an agency nurse in the Royal Darwin Hospital in June 2014. Police will allege the man had no medical training and managed to pass himself off as a nurse in RDH until authorities in Queensland contacted their Territory counterparts last year. Crawford had previously been extradited to Queensland from the NT after breaking his bail conditions and being found wandering in the Territory desert between Alice Springs and Katherine. In Cairns last week, Crawford pleaded guilty to fraud and forgery charges. The court was told he used a random registration number to apply for a clinical nurse position with Queensland Health in Aurukun where he worked from the middle of February last year until he was discovered in April 2015. During his time at the health centre, Crawford had 800 consultations with patients and administered drugs, including injections, under a doctor’s authorisation.
