Dr Dal Goodman B. Eng., MBBS, FRACGP

Dal is 50 years old, married and has four children. His first degree is in Engineering, but his varied career has included working as a charter pilot and flying instructor, computer salesman, and briefly in civil engineering.

Dal worked with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade from 1989 to 1996, including postings as a diplomat to Papua New Guinea and Malaysia. In 1996 he left DFAT for family reasons, and in 1999 fulfilled a lifelong dream by being accepted to study medicine. With the support of his wife Kath, in 2002 Dal graduated from the four-year medical course at the University of Queensland.

Dal worked for Queensland Health for four years, finishing as a Senior Medical Officer in a rural hospital north of Brisbane. He has now completed his Fellowship in General Practice and is working as a GP in two different practices on Queensland's Sunshine Coast.

Dal must enjoy public humiliation, as he has appeared on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" (where he didn't become a millionaire) in 1999 and on "The Weakest Link" in 2001 (where he was voted off after having one wrong answer in six rounds).
