Cameron Dick is a fifth-generation Queenslander and serves as the Deputy Premier, Treasurer and Minister for Trade and Investment in the Miles Labor Government.
He is proud to live in the City of Logan and represent the state electorate of Woodridge, one of the most diverse and multicultural electorates in Australia.
Born and raised on the southside of Brisbane, Cameron’s father was a butcher and his mother was a midwife. Cameron’s parents taught him the importance of hard work, the value of a dollar, contributing to community and serving others.
As a young man Cameron joined the Labor Party, studied law, and volunteered overseas as an international development worker under the Australian Volunteers Abroad Program. Cameron lived and worked in the South Pacific for three years, eventually being appointed the Attorney-General of the small Pacific island nation of Tuvalu.
After postgraduate study overseas, Cameron was first elected to the Queensland Parliament in 2009, serving in a number of portfolios, including as Queensland Attorney-General and as Minister for Education, where he helped to deliver reforms like moving Year 7 into high school before the Government lost office.
In 2015 Cameron decided to return to politics, to fight against the cuts and chaos of the Newman Government. Cameron was appointed Minister for Health and Ambulance Services. He restored front-line health jobs that had been cut by the Newman Government, increased funding for mental health services and introduced important reforms like nurse-to-patient ratios.
Since becoming Treasurer, Cameron has continued to fight to make Queensland fairer by introducing progressive coal royalties, which means Queenslanders get their fair share of mining profits. He also introduced a dedicated levy to fund better mental health services for Queenslanders.
Through reforms like these, Cameron has been proud to help deliver the biggest cost of living relief program in the country, the biggest hospital building program, the biggest social housing spend, the lowest unemployment rate in Queensland history, and the biggest budget surplus ever recorded by a state Government.
Cameron is focused on doing what matters for Queenslanders, including delivering more cost-of-living relief, better health services closer to home, a transformative energy jobs and plan, and protecting Queenslanders from cuts to jobs, services and infrastructure.
