Post-Politics
Since leaving Parliament in early 2024, Scott Morrison has taken on a range of new roles across business, defence, space, and faith.
The Hon. Scott Morrison AC is now the Advisory Board Chairman of Space Centre Australia, leading the charge on Australia’s first commercial spaceport in Cape York. He also advises US-based strategic firms including American Global Strategies and DYNE, working alongside global figures like former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
Mr Morrison also serves on the Strategic Advisory Boards of the International Democracy Union, The Center for a New American Security and the Hudson Institute China Center.
Mr Morrison is also the Chairman of the i4give Foundation, demonstrating his personal and ongoing support to the Abdallah family.
In 2024, he released Plans for Your Good, a personal account of faith and leadership during his time as Prime Minister — a reflection on how his Christian faith guided him through Australia’s toughest challenges.
Mr Morrison continues to weigh in on public issues from the sidelines but has stepped away from day-to-day politics and his long-held role as Cronulla Sharks’ No.1 ticket holder.
These days, he’s focused on faith, family, and helping organisations with strategy, geopolitics and global risk – especially in Australia’s national interest.

The foundation’s mission is to promote forgiveness within communities, inspired by the Abdallahs’ public act of forgiving the driver responsible for their children’s deaths.
Central to the foundation’s initiatives is i4Give Day, observed annually on 1 February, transforming the day of the tragedy into a national day of forgiveness. This day marks the beginning of i4Give Week, a series of events from 1–7 February aimed at encouraging acts of forgiveness across Australia. The week includes i4Give Sunday, where churches and faith communities are invited to focus on forgiveness in their services.
In 2025, the foundation introduced the “4 Steps to Forgiveness” framework: Acknowledge the hurt, Accept what cannot be changed, Surrender the pain, and Voice forgiveness. Each step corresponds to one of the four children lost, providing a structured approach to processing grief and embracing forgiveness.
