Dominic worked at the University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand before coming to Charles Sturt in 2008.

Dominic did his PhD in political science at Waikato which was published as Faith, Politics and Reconciliation: Catholicism and the Politics of Indigeneity (Huia Publishers and the Australian Theological Forum) in 2005. In 2005, he was co-editor with Cynthia Piper, of an academic history of the Catholic Diocese of Hamilton, New Zealand Turanga Ngatahi: Standing Together: The Catholic Diocese of Hamilton 1840-2005 (Dunmore Publishing). In 2007 Dominic published Beyond Biculturalism: the politics of an indigenous minority (Huia Publishers), which is a theoretical exposition of underlying themes in Maori policy. His most recent book Scaling-up Education Reform: addressing the politics of disparity ( NZCER Press), was written with Russell Bishop and Mere Berryman and proposes a model for sustainaible and replicable school reform.

Dominic is involved in a number of research projects on the comparative politics of indigeneity, with a particular current focus on the politics of indigenous health.

Dominic is a member of the Te Rarawa and Ngati Kahu tribes of northern New Zealand. He currently lives in Bathurst with his wife Cara, who is from South Africa, and their children Lucy and Joe.
