Brisbane-based television scriptwriter Anthony Morris began his career in the early 1990s with sit-coms All Together Now, The Bob Morrison Show, and Us and Them (all three of which were created by Philip Dalkin and Pino Amenta, with the input of Alan Hardy, John Powditch, and Jon Stephens), as well as writing scripts for soap-opera Paradise Beach.

His work in the late 1990s and early 2000s fluctuated between children's television (including the Australian Children's Television Foundation program Crash Zone and Burberry Productions program The Sleepover Club, a series for which he also acted as script editor) and adult programs (including Medivac, Breakers, and Something in the Air).

His work on Something in the Air led to his being appointed as a writer on long-running suburban soap-opera Neighbours: Morris notes in an interview with Neighbours fan site The Perfect Blend that he came to write for Neighbours because 'Luke Devenish and Lara Radulovich (both Neighbours story producers and fine spotters of talent) knew me from my having worked on the serial Something In The Air for the ABC.' Morris continues to write for Neighbours and has also contributed scripts to rival soap opera Home and Away.

Morris's involvement with Jonathan M. Shiff Productions began with Pirate Islands: The Lost Treasure of Fiji in 2007: since then, Morris has also contributed to Shiff programs The Elephant Princess, H2O: Just Add Water, and Lightning Point, as well as writing scripts for children's science-fiction/fantasy series K9 and Legend of Enyo. His most recent scripts are for Jonathan Shiff production Reef Doctors, and his also expected to contribute to upcoming Shiff production Mako Mermaids.

In 2012, the Australian Writers Guild, for a presentation at which Morris was speaking, described him as 'the most produced scriptwriter in Queensland', with 'over a hundred-and-thirty hours of network drama credits as a freelance writer, and hundreds more in in-house roles.'
