The Commission is pleased to announce that the Hon. Michael Corboy SC has been appointed as the inaugural Deputy Commissioner of the Corruption and Crime Commission.

Mr Corboy was a Supreme Court Judge for 13 years until 2023. Since leaving the bench he has acted as a mediator and arbitrator.

Mr Corboy brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the Commission.  As a legal practitioner, Mr Corboy acted for the liquidator in one of Australia's longest running civil matters. He has been a partner at Australian and International law firms and as a judge presided over both civil and criminal cases.

The qualities Mr Corboy brings to the Commission extend well beyond his time a judge. He was a member of the Law Society's Ethics Committee for 22 years, including seven as convenor. He pursued economics as his first career and lectured in the subject at universities in WA and in Scotland.

The addition of a Deputy Commissioner is a significant development in Commission history and will enhance our collective efforts.

Mr Corboy was sworn in by the Chief Justice on 25 July 2024.
