Name suppression has been lifted for the man charged in relation to historic abuse of children at Lake Alice psychiatric hospital in the 1970s.
He is John Corkran, a former staff member.
The 89-year-old faces eight charges of injecting children in his care with a powerful sedative as a way of punishing them.
Police say it took place between 1974 and 1977.
Hundreds of former Lake Alice patients say they suffered abuse while at the hospital during the 1970s.
