Dan Repacholi MP | Federal Member for Hunter

Dan Repacholi is the Federal Member for Hunter and Australia's first-ever SpeciaI Envoy for Men's Health, a role created to put a stronger national focus on improving the health and wellbeing of Australian men and boys.

Before entering politics, Dan represented Australia at five Olympic Games in pistol shooting and built a career as a fitter and turner, working alongside miners, power station workers, and tradies in the Hunter.

Since being elected in 2022, Dan has been astrong advocate for jobs, local industry, and health services. As Special Envoy, he works with communities, health organisations and government to break down stigma, improve access to services, and start new conversations about men's health.

Known for his down to earth style and deep roots in the Hunter community, Dan brings both lived experience and passion to his work in Parliament and to his role championing men's health nationally.

While he claims to have two left feet, Dan says he is excited to be joining the original Stars of the Hunter Class of 2026 lineup and making a real impact for people in the region living with cancer while also contributing to the work Cancer Council NSW are doing in prevention, advocacy and research.
