ACT MP Mark Cameron did dialysis in his parliamentary flat as kidney function hit 8 percent

In his valedictory speech to Parliament on 26 August 2026, ACT MP Mark Cameron said his kidney function had fallen to 8 percent while he was an MP and he underwent dialysis in his parliamentary flat. Cameron, who also cited acute heart failure and his son's death by suicide, conceded he was "stuffed." MPs have no formal workplace accommodation mechanism for managing chronic health conditions alongside parliamentary duties.
