Independent Director (ARC Future Fellow & Professor, Griffith University)
Professor Leanne Wiseman
An ARC Future Fellow and legal academic, Leanne brings deep expertise in intellectual property, digital innovation, and Right to Repair policy to the ABSC Board.
Leanne is one of Australia’s leading voices on the intersection of law, technology, and sustainability. As an ARC Future Fellow, Professor of Intellectual Property Law at Griffith University, and Chair of the Australian Repair Network, she brings a powerful blend of legal insight and forward-thinking policy to the ABSC Board. Her work explores how intellectual property laws can enable — rather than restrict — repair, reuse, and circular innovation. Leanne’s passion for practical, rights-based reform makes her an invaluable guide as we rethink the way products are used, owned, and extended across their full lifecycle.
