Hailing from New South Wales, Abraham initially served as a fourth official in A-League Men and as a referee for FFA Cup matches in 2017.[1][2] He joined the A-League referees panel in August 2019 for the first time,[3] and refereed his first professional match between Melbourne City and Wellington Phoenix on 3 November 2019.[4] Abraham was openly criticised by Louis Fenton and Phoenix coach Ufuk Talay for a controversial penalty call that gave City a 3–1 lead. The match ended in a 3–2 victory for Melbourne City.[5][6]
Abraham was appointed referee for the 2023 Australia Cup final between Sydney FC and Brisbane Roar. It would be his first and final time officiating an Australia Cup final.[7]
