In a picture posted to X/Twitter, Mr Morrison is seen alongside his wife Jenny, Mr Trump and returning first lady Melania Trump at the Mar-a-Lago club.
"HNY 2025 from Mar-a-Lago," the former PM said in the post to X.
New Year's Eve party at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club featured a long guestlist of lawmakers, celebrities and political figures, including Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk.
Speaking to reporters on the red carpet before the event, Trump said he thought 2025 would be a "great year" and "we're going to do fantastically well as a country", the Associated Press reports.
The former PM maintained a good relationship with Trump while in office and held a "warm reception" with the then-candidate in May 2024 to discuss the AUKUS alliance.
"It was nice to catch up again, especially given the pile on he is currently dealing with in the US," Morrison said at the time.
Following his retirement from Parliament in February 2024, Mr Morrison announced he would take up a role as non-executive vice chairman with advisory firm American Global Strategies, which was founded by two ex-Trump staffers.
The firm provides companies with assessments of the global political environment.
