Daley was born at Atherton in the Atherton Tableands region of Queensland in April 1977 and was raised nearby at Millaa Millaa. He later studied veterinary science at the University of Queensland, spending a year after graduating as a practicing vet in rural Beaudesert. In 2001, he decided to take up a research project as a Rhodes Scholar at Magdalen College at the University of Oxford in England, aimed at developing improved methods for organ transplantation in humans.[1] While studying at Oxford, he made two appearances in first-class cricket for Oxford University in The University Matches of 2003 and 2005 against Cambridge University.[2] He scored 12 runs in these matches,[3] while with his right-arm medium-fast bowling he bowled nine wicketless overs, conceding 31 runs.[4]

After graduating with a DPhil from Oxford, Daley has been a research fellow at the Australian National University.[5]

Daley is now a Senior Lecturer and leads the Developmental Immunology Group at the Queensland University of Technology [6]
