Alongside Murray's STEM-based academia, he is interested in studying Japanese, which he credits for furthering his personal development.

Community service is something Murray seeks to involve himself in. He believes that working with others and raising awareness is vital to solving society's issues. He is a member and volunteer caretaker within the Low Isles Preservation Society and has served various leadership roles within the Surf Lifesaving movement. Within these organisations, Murray has continuously committed to improving his leadership skills.
