Australian public servant and occasional radio-play writer.
In 1934, Trevor Heath was appointed secretary to the Minister for Public Affairs, at which point newspapers published the following biographical information:
Mr. Heath received his early education at Queen's College, North Adelaide. Later he attended St. Peter's College, and subsequently went to England and entered Jesus College, Cambridge, where he studied law for three and a half years. He gained his MJL degree there, and on returning to Adelaide gained his LL.B. degree at the University of Adelaide. He was admitted to the bar, being first articled to the late Mr. Harry Thomson, K.C. Until his appointment as secretary to Sir George Pearce, Mr. Heath was with Mr. J. R Kearnan, solicitor. Mr. Heath left yesterday by the ex press for Melbourne, where he will meet Sir George Pearce and accompany him to Canberra. Early next year Mr. and Mrs. Heath will take up permanent residence in. Melbourne. (Source: 'Mr. Trevor Heath Secretary to Sir George Pearce', The Advertiser, 7 December 1934, p.26.)
By the late 1940s, Trevor Heath was the secretary of the Antarctic division of the Department of External Affairs (Source: 'Australian Play for the BBC', The Age, 15 October 1949, p.4.). By 1950, he was officer-in-charge of the Heard and Macquarie Islands operations (Source: 'Ukrainian Doctor for Antarctic Party', West Australian, 31 January 1950, p.10).
Heath appears to have abandoned script-writing after Spinney under the Rain, perhaps in consequence of the increasing demands of his other profession.
