About Jamie

Mr Chaffey was elected to the 48th Parliament in June 2025.

He represents the largest electorate in New South Wales, covering more than 400,000 sq km and half of the state, stretching from Boomi in the north, to Barmedman in the south, and Cameron’s Corner where the New South Wales, Queensland and South Australian borders meet.

Mr Chaffey and his wife Judy live on a farm in Gunnedah, New South Wales.

A boilermaker by trade, he and Judy worked in his wife’s family’s business, manufacturing agricultural equipment, eventually becoming second-generation business owners. That business is now owned and operated by their children.

Mr Chaffey was elected to Gunnedah Shire Council in September 2016, having previously served as President of the Gunnedah Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Mr Chaffey was elected Mayor in 2016, and remained Mayor of Gunnedah Shire for eight years.

He was endorsed as chair of the Namoi Unlimited Joint Organisation of Councils in 2018 and re-elected as chair in 2020. Mr Chaffey was also elected to the Executive of the Country Mayors Association of NSW and is a board member of the AUKUS forum of the Nuclear Advisory Board.

“I am proud to call this region home and I am deeply committed to serving the people of the Parkes electorate,” Mr Chaffey said.

He is committed to delivering the best outcomes for people across the electorate, and for people in rural, remote and regional areas.

Mr Chaffey and his wife Judy have four children and four grandchildren, with another one on the way.
