Noah Carroll is the 11th and current National Secretary of the Australian Labor Party. He is a member of the party's right faction.
Carroll joined Labor at the age of 21 while living in Mount Macedon in rural Victoria.
He then served as Councillor for the Shire of Macedon Ranges. 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.
Carroll subsequently worked as the Assistant State Secretary of Victorian Labor from 2009–2011 and then as State Secretary from 2011–2016. As State Secretary, he oversaw the 2014 state campaign that elected the Andrews Government in Victoria after just one term in opposition. 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.
He completed Harvard Business School's general management programme in 2015.
He is also a graduate of the University of Melbourne with a Bachelor of Arts degree and from Monash University with a Master of Management (International Business).
In 2013, he was awarded the ten-year service medal for service to the Country Fire Authority.
