Mr Green is a solicitor and partner at DSA Law in Melbourne, and spends his time between the city and the central Victorian town of Talbot, where his mother owns a bookstore.
He was admitted as a lawyer in 2008, specialising in construction, defamation, review of government decisions, general commercial, employment, crime and insolvency, according to DSA Law.
Mr Green's father Bill was novelist, journalist and playwright, and a press secretary to Dr Jim Cairns, deputy prime minister in the Whitlam government.
The Courier has attempted to contact Mr Green and the Liberal Party for an interview.
Incumbent Catherine King, standing for the ALP, and the United Australia Party's Terri Pryce-Smith have put their hats in the ring, with more candidates expected to be announced this week.
An election is expected to be announced soon, to be held before May 21.
