Ahmad Rashad Nadir, 28, had been charged with possessing an illicit drug after a vial of morphine was allegedly found in his locker at Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital in February 2025.
He successfully had that charge dismissed at Bankstown Local Court on Tuesday after Judge Glenn Walsh ruled evidence relating to the hospital's locker search was inadmissible.
"It was a great result today, it was a great win for my client," Nadir's lawyer Zemarai Khatiz told reporters outside court.
"My client is very happy with the result."
While the 28-year-old was successful in having the charge thrown out, he lost a bid to have prosecutors pay his legal costs accrued during the failed court case.
Judge Walsh's reasons for dismissing the evidence cannot be revealed due to a court order.
This marks the second legal win for Nadir.
A week ago he and his former colleague Sarah Abu Lebdeh, 27, had the February 2025 viral video of their alleged anti-Semitic comments struck out as evidence.
They have pleaded not guilty to being menacing and offensive when they allegedly said they would refuse to treat Israeli patients and threatened violence against them.
They are set to face a NSW District Court jury trial at the end of August.
However, the loss of the video means prosecutors are left without a key piece of evidence in that case as it was deemed inadmissible for trial.
Israeli national Max Ilinsky, popularly known as Max Veifer, recorded a video of his conversation with the nurses on the platform ChatRoulette in 2025.
The platform, known as Chatruletka in Israel, randomly matches people from across the world to facilitate conversations.
Both Nadir and Abu Lebdeh have been prohibited from working as nurses anywhere in the nation by Australia's health practitioner watchdog and their registrations have been suspended in NSW.
