Since September 2022 David Casey has been Director for the Men’s, LGBTIQA+ and Children and Young People’s Health Section in the Department of Health and Aged Care’s Health Equity Branch. This section is responsible for coordinating and working with partners on the delivery of the Government’s commitment to the first ever 10 Year National Action Plan for the Health and Wellbeing of LGBTIQA+ People. This includes delivering more than 25 roundtables with the LGBTIQA+ community across every state and territory. Prior to this role David has spent over 10 years working across the Australian Public Service, including at the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, the National Disability Insurance Scheme Taskforce and the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts. In 2020, while at Infrastructure David was awarded an Australia Day Council Medallion of Achievement for his work in advocating for, establishing and chairing the then only Staff Mental Health and Wellbeing Network in the APS. David is a proud gay man grateful for the immense support he has received from the LGBTIQA+ community since coming out in 2019.
