Carey has a public service background, having worked as a principal policy adviser on parliamentary issues to the former premier of Western Australia. Prior to this role, he provided strategic media and policy advice to the Western Australian environment minister on a range of issues and served as the environment minister’s chief media spokesman. Carey also developed and prepared the case for major new pollution funding initiatives within government in response to community concerns over the regulation of industry.
