Georgie Crozier

After leaving school, Crozier worked as an administrative assistant in 1982, before completing general nurse training between 1983 and 1986. She completed midwifery training in 1990 and subsequently worked as a midwife between 1991 and 1994. Following that, she worked as a consultant and hospital supervisor at the Royal Women's Hospital between 1994 and 2000. She was an executive search/recruitment consultant between 2000 and 2006, a business manager between 2006 and 2008, and a business consultant from 2008 until her election in 2010.^[3]

In 2010, Crozier was elected as the fourth member for Southern Metropolitan Region.^[4] Following the resignation of Ted Baillieu in March 2013, Dennis Napthine became Premier and appointed Crozier as Parliamentary Secretary for Health.

Crozier chaired the Family and Community Development Committee's Inquiry into the Handling of Child Abuse by Religious and Other Organisations.^[5] Known as the Betrayal of Trust Inquiry, it uncovered shocking widespread and systemic abuse of children in many organisations, dating back decades.

The inquiry's 750-page report was tabled in November 2013 and recommended sweeping legislative changes to both civil and criminal laws. The recommendations included allowing victims to seek adequate compensation and the creation of a new criminal offence of turning a blind eye to sexual abuse.^[6] The inquiry was important in leading to legislative reforms which removed the statute of limitations on historical sexual abuse claims and was a catalyst for the Commonwealth Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.

Following Napthine's defeat at the 2014 state election, Matthew Guy was elected leader of the Victorian Liberal Party and Crozier was appointed Shadow Minister for Families and Children, Shadow Minister for Prevention of Family Violence, Shadow Minister for Women, and Shadow Cabinet Secretary.^[7] In September 2017, she was appointed Shadow Minister for Housing, ceding her positions as Shadow Minister for Women and Shadow Cabinet Secretary.^[8]

Following the 2018 state election, Crozier was elected Deputy Leader of the Opposition and Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party in the Legislative Council, and appointed by Michael O'Brien as Shadow Minister for Health and Shadow Minister for Ambulance Services.^[9]

In February 2024, Crozier experienced an attempted home invasion. The offender fell from her roof but continued to try to effect an entry by kicking at a door, only fleeing when the police arrived.^[10]
