"Since leaving banking I have pursued a career as a disability support worker, helping some of the most vulnerable members of our community," Mr Docker says on the illawarra Greens website.

"The flexibility of this role has afforded me the time to take on further studies in policy and governance, take part in volunteering initiatives and be a carer for my mum in her battle against cancer.

"And now I'd like to represent the good citizens of Keira.

"It is my hope that with the support of the people of Keira I will have the opportunity to drive positive change throughout the community I call home."

Mr Docker attended Kiama High School and graduated from the University of Wollongong with a Bachelor's degree in Commerce, majoring in international economics.
