Adam Brookman, from Coolaroo in Melbourne's north, appeared at the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Monday charged with a range of terrorism-related offences.
The 39-year-old, who allegedly supported a terror organisation, made no application for bail on Monday and was remanded in custody for another court hearing on November 16.
Court documents show the father of five is alleged to have undertaken guard duty and reconnaissance for Islamic State while he was in Syria.
The Australian Federal Police's Melbourne joint counter-terrorism team have also charged Mr Brookman with performing services with an intention of supporting a person to engage in a hostile activity in a foreign state.
Last Tuesday, Mr Brookman surrendered to Turkish authorities. He was then flown to Sydney where he was arrested and extradited to Victoria.
Prosecutors told the court on Monday that investigators needed more time than usual to prepare their evidence against Mr Brookman because "overseas enquiries" were being made and telephone intercepts needed to be transcribed.
Mr Brookman, who is being represented by lawyer Rob Stary, said nothing during the brief appearance, but nodded when asked by the magistrate if he understood the proceedings.
