A nurse and father-of-five convicted of a terrorist-related offence has been released from jail early under an 'outrageous' Victorian government policy that grants leniency to prisoners who served time during the coronavirus.

Adam Brookman, 45, from Melbourne had already served 2,161 days in custody after being arrested for supporting Chechen fighters in the Middle East.

Brookman had plead guilty to one charge of foreign incursion.

Justice Jane Dixon sentenced him to six years and eight months with a non-parole period set for five years in Victoria's Supreme Court on Wednesday.

Brookman was not due to be released until March 2022.
