Victorian Greens MP Tim Read Dies Following Melanoma Diagnosis

Victorian Greens MP Tim Read died on Saturday morning after being diagnosed with melanoma in November 2025, an announcement coauthored by party leader Ellen Sandell and the Victorian Greens said. The statement said the Brunswick member died surrounded by family and love, and his family asked that donations replace flowers. Read entered Victoria’s Legislative Assembly on November 24, 2018, becoming the first Green elected to represent Brunswick. Before Parliament, he worked as a general practitioner and medical researcher focused on sexually transmitted infections, including HIV.
