Born in Kerala, India, Jinson studied his Bachelor of Science in Nursing and Midwifery before migrating to Australia in 2011. Moving to Darwin in 2015, Jinson worked as a Registered Nurse in the Alcohol Mandatory Treatment program which was then scrapped by Labor in 2017 - despite the real, positive outcomes that the program delivered.
Jinson has held senior leadership positions in health, delivering mental health care to Territorians, working as a team manager and operations manager in the field. His passion for delivering quality health care services led to him being appointed as the Director of Acute Services, Top End Mental Health Alcohol and Other Drug Services (NT Health).
Jinson, his wife Anu and his two daughters Aimie (10) and Anna (4) are deeply ingrained in the Territory’s multicultural community. Jinson currently serves as the President of the Darwin Malayalee Association. He is a fierce and passionate advocate for local families, and believes that only a CLP Government has a plan to build the Territory for local kids’ futures.
“We need people with the experience to deliver the health and rehabilitation services we need.
Territorians deserve more support and access to better healthcare.
Family and community are so important to me but with crime and economic decline, families don’t have the choices and options we used to.”
