Early life
Gorman was born in Glebe, New South Wales and was the son of a master mariner. He was educated at the Patrician Brothers' School, Glebe and became a warehouseman and commercial traveller. After 1919, he became an officer of the Shop Assistants Union. Gorman was elected as an alderman of Glebe Municipal Council from 1926 until 1934 and was the mayor in 1933.
State Parliament
Gorman was elected to parliament as the Lang Labor member for Annandale at the June 1933 by-election caused by the death of the incumbent Lang Labor member Robert Stuart-Robertson. Gorman retained the seat until it was abolished by a redistribution at the 1950 election. He then attempted to gain Labor pre-selection for the new seat of Newtown-Annandale but was defeated by Arthur Greenup. Gorman was a supporter of the Australian Labor Party (Non-Communist) during the short existence of that manifestation of Lang Labor and was the acting Chairman of Committees (effectively Deputy Speaker) during 2 months in 1949 but did not hold other party, parliamentary or ministerial offices. On leaving parliament, he was appointed as a Commissioner of the Industrial Relations Commission of New South Wales and held that position until he retired in 1963.
