Noah Carroll was the 11th National Secretary of the Australian Labor Party. He is a member of the party's right faction.[1]
Carroll joined Labor at the age of 21 while living in Mount Macedon in rural Victoria.[2]
He then served as Councillor for the Shire of Macedon Ranges.[3] He has also previously been employed as a Ministerial Advisor to the Victorian Treasurer, Adviser to the Minister for Finance and Consumer Affairs and as an Adviser to the Minister for Gaming and Consumer Affairs.

He is known for his bluntness, strategic mind and is considered a very close confidant of Labor Leader Bill Shorten and previously worked for Senators Stephen Conroy and Robert Ray.
