Dan Cregan is the Member for Kavel, Special Minister of State and Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services.

Dan was first elected as the Member for Kavel in March 2018 and was humbled to be re-elected in March 2022. Dan contested the seat as an independent, believing there was no whole-of-government plan to address the growing needs of the Adelaide Hills.

He considers his appointment to Cabinet in April 2024 to be a genuine privilege.

As a Minister, he will remain independent and retain a strong independent voice on legislation before parliament.

Having joined the Cabinet, Dan will lead the government’s implementation of nation-leading political donation reform whilst developing mechanisms to safeguard our democracy as Special Minister of State.

He is deeply passionate about the welfare of first responders and is proud to serve as the state’s Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services Minister.

Dan’s interests are reading and exploring our beautiful Adelaide Hills region.
