Former Supreme Court justice Michael Corboy has been handed the top job at the Corruption and Crime Commission after holding the deputy position since July last year.

Mr Corboy stepped into his new role of corruption and crime commissioner on Monday, having acted in the role since his predecessor John McKechnie retired in June following a nine-year stint.

Mr Corboy had been in the deputy position since July 2024, becoming the first person to hold the newly-created title.

He will hold the role for a term of five years.

Before entering the CCC, Mr Corboy was a Justice of the Supreme Court of Western Australia for 13 years, retiring in 2023.
