Kevin Anderson’s commitment to the public service began in the Royal Australian Air Force, before moving to Tamworth and embarking on a 17 year career in journalism and communications.

Kevin’s career in journalism bred a love for the community he now represents. He is driven by a passion for the people of the electorate who he believes are forgotten under the Labor government.

Since being elected, Kevin has fought for major infrastructure upgrades like the $211 million Tamworth Hospital, $53 million Gunnedah Hospital, $62m Tamworth Mental Health Unit, $8.54 million Rural Fire Service Area Command Centre, and more. In his 12 years as the representative for Tamworth, Kevin has secured billions in NSW Government investment for the Tamworth Electorate.

Now in his fourth term representing the people of the Tamworth Region, Kevin has been privileged to serve the people of NSW in a variety of roles including as the Minister for Better Regulation and Innovation in 2019, and as the Minister for Lands and Water in 2021.

Mr Anderson's experience in these roles has enabled him to better help his local community and given him an opportunity to provide input into policy that improves the lives of the people of NSW.

At the 2023 election, Kevin was re-elected for a fourth term serving as the Member for Tamworth and now serves as the Deputy Leader of the NSW Nationals, Shadow Minister for Hospitality and Gaming, Shadow Minister Tourism, Shadow Minister for Seniors, and Shadow Minister for Western NSW in the Shadow Ministry.
