Logan man Omar Succarieh, 33, has been sentenced to 4.5 years' jail for funding freedom fighters in Syria.
The Islamic bookshop owner will spend at least three years behind bars for sending more than US$40,000 to help his brother and others engage in 'hostile activity'.
Succarieh pleaded guilty to four foreign incursion offences after the Commonwealth Department of Public Prosecutions dropped more serious terror-related charges against him.
He was sentenced today in the Supreme Court in Brisbane to four and a half years with a non-parole period of three years.
He was arrested on counter terrorism raids in September 2014.
Succarieh, a father of three, was denied bail in January 2015 and February 2016 after prosecutors successfully argued he was too great a flight risk to be let out of custody.
He will be eligible for release in the second half of 2017 given time already served in custody.
Justice Roslyn Atkinson's decision was significantly more than the three year head sentence both the prosecution and defence had requested.
Succarieh sent $US43,700 ($A57,356) to his brother Abraham Succarieh in 2014 while he was fighting alongside terror group Jabhat al-Nusra.
The pair spoke in code to arrange the payments, describing cash and how much he would send in the terms of "sweets" and "kilos".
Succarieh also gave $7700 to an Australian-born citizen of Albanian descent and Muslim Sunni faith to travel overseas in an alleged attempt to join the fight.
The court had heard Succarieh believed it was his religious duty to involve himself in the Syrian conflict.
