Gideon Rozner

Director of Communications

Level 2, 410 Collins St, Melbourne 3000 VIC

Gideon Rozner is the Director of Communications at the Institute of Public Affairs. Gideon came to the IPA because of a lifelong interest in personal and economic freedom.

Gideon’s current work focuses on industrial relations reform, the dignity of work and the regulatory barriers that effectively lock thousands of Australians out of the job market.

Prior to joining the IPA, Gideon spent several years practicing as a lawyer at one of Australia’s largest commercial law firms, as well as several months as interim general counsel of an ASX-200 company. He has also served as an adviser to ministers in the Abbott and Turnbull Governments, advising on areas as diverse as electoral reform and northern Australian economic development. He holds a Bachelor of Laws (with Honours) and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Melbourne.

Gideon has been published in the Herald Sun and The Spectator Australia, and has appeared on Sky News, 3AW and Network Ten’s The Project.
