Jeremy Lindsey

I have had over twenty-five years' professional experience as a Technical Research Officer and Manager in Entomology at The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, Western Australia. I have overseen several research projects while also leading and supporting a team of dedicated research staff.

I have extensive knowledge of research within this sector and have co-authored five research papers. I've worked closely with a diverse range of clients, consultants, and other stakeholders. While I thrive in autonomous, self-managed roles, I equally value and excel in collaborative team environments.

Previous to my DPIRD role, I have had several years managing farming properties throughout regional Australia where I have established close connections and lasting friendships.

My deeply-held values around supporting the community and service to others, underpin my strong and unwavering work ethic. I am eager to leverage my broad experience and knowledge to contribute meaningfully and professionally in my next role, ensuring I create a lasting positive impact.

In addition to my full-time work, I have helped care for my ageing parents.

I looked after my father for over five years when my mother died, as he navigated the challenges of late-onset Parkinson's disease.

As his primary carer at the time, I assisted him with activities of daily living, often extending to medical or nursing tasks. Although it was tiring at times ( since I was working fulltime), it was a totally fulfilling and rewarding role, and one that I whole-heartedly embraced.

I am naturally drawn to helping others, and have a high level of compassion, empathy, and patience.
