A former Queensland Health employee has appeared in court over allegations she defrauded the department of more than $36,000.

Caboolture woman Karma Elms, 35, appeared in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Tuesday charged with 46 counts of fraud.

Elms was hired by Queensland Health after the March 2010 introduction of a new payroll system, which was plagued by troubles.

She was employed to help manage the increased workload brought on by the new system.
