Dr Mick Maroney OAM is a senior school teacher at a local Menai school. Mick has a first-hand understanding of the effects teacher shortages can have on students in our schools.
Prior to teaching Mick has enjoyed careers in the NSW Police Service, and as a firefighter, and believes in the expansion of services into undersupplied areas such as the South West.
Mick represented Australia in the sport of Triathlon at the Commonwealth Games in Auckland 1990, and is passionate about the positive effects sports can have in our community.
Along with his wife Justine and their five children, Mick has volunteered in many capacities over the past 30 years, within sport and the wider community. For this work Mick was honoured to receive an Order of Australia Medal for outstanding achievement and service.
As part of the Minns Labor team, Mick will deliver improved staffing levels at our hospitals, address the teacher shortages, and create local jobs through building our trains, buses and ferries here in New South Wales.
