Born in South Melbourne to Tom Corrigan and Emily Olive Angleton, he was educated at Christian Brothers' College (Albert Park) and completed his apprenticeship as an Electrical Contractor with his brother Thomas Corrigan Jnr. On 17 March 1945 he married Matilda Semmens, with whom he had two children.
