Sean Morrison
Victorian Information Commissioner
Sean Morrison was appointed as Victorian Information Commissioner in February 2024.
Sean has an extensive background working as the General Counsel at multiple Government departments, and most recently as Special Investigator at the Office of the Special Investigator.
Sean led the Government’s legal response to the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System and the Commonwealth’s Royal Commissions into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability, and Aged Care Quality and Safety.
Sean has also led major Victorian Government legislative reforms, including the Health Legislation Amendment (Information Sharing) Act 2023, which created the first information-sharing regime for the Victorian public health system, the Prevention of Family Violence Act 2018 and the Voluntary Assisted Dying Act 2014.
Sean has a keen interest in Freedom of Information reform and how new technologies intersect with privacy law, both very topical given the current information climate.
