A NSW doctor who allegedly had more than 5000 videos and photos of child abuse material on his mobile phone has been charged.
Australia Border Force officers seized the doctor's phone at Melbourne Airport in May after they suspected it contained child abuse material.
The phone was handed over to detectives from the NSW Sex Crimes Squad who discovered thousands of files on the phone.
The squad is part of Strike Force Trawler that investigates the sexual abuse and exploitation of children facilitated through the internet and telecommunication devices.
The doctor was arrested in Albury during a search conducted by strike force detectives.
He was taken to Albury Police Station and charged with possession of child abuse material, using a phone to access child abuse material and importing prohibited goods.
'There is no evidence to suggest any offending occurred against his patients,' a police spokesman said.
He was refused bail and will appear in the Albury Local Court on Tuesday as police continue to investigate.

Bali shooting victim's widow shares heartbreaking letter
The wife of an Australian who was gunned down while holidaying in Bali has delivered a heartbreaking letter about the man she described as 'the best dad in the world'. Jazmyn Gourdeas allowed family lawyer Sary Latief to read out a handwritten letter at a press conference on Tuesday, in which she memorialised her husband and thanked the Indonesian police for all their help and support. 'My husband was a loving man and the best dad in the world, now I have the unimaginable (task) of going home to tell (the kids) that he's no longer here,' the letter read. 'Please respect our privacy so we can grieve his loss.' Addressing the media, Ms Latief said Ms Gourdeas was 'not coping very well with the tragedy'. '[She] doesn't have the appetite to eat, she's lost a lot of weight, she looks very pale, she's really worried, she wants to go home.' Ms Latief said Ms Gourdeas' mother and brother had travelled to Indonesia to support her. Ms Gourdeas was a witness to the savage alleged killing, which took place when three men allegedly breached the entrance of a villa the couple had rented in celebration of her 30th birthday. While Ms Gourdeas hid from the attackers, Mr Radmanovic was allegedly badly beaten, before being shot and killed. Sanar Ghanim, 34, suffered wounds in the attack. Credit: Supplied Another man, Sanar Ghanim, was shot during the ordeal, but managed to escape. Ms Gourdeas is now a single mother of six children aged between 9 months and 13 years. A fundraiser has been launched for her by close family friend Jamie Lee. Ms Lee said the 'sudden and devastating loss' had shattered Ms Gourdeas, and the weight of single motherhood would begin to weigh on her without appropriate support. 'While only married for just under a year, the couple were deeply in love and shared a family together,' Ms Lee said. 'Now Jazmyn faces the unimaginable challenge of caring for their large family alone, including three children diagnosed with epilepsy who require ongoing medication, therapies and frequent medical appointments.' A GoFundMe has been set up for Jazmyn.

The Indonesian Police have arrested three Australian men in connection with the alleged slaughter. 'We are certain these three are the perpetrators. They are Australian nationals according to their passports,' Bali Police Chief Daniel Adityajaya said. According to Indonesian law, the men could face the death penalty if they are convicted of murder.
