He attended primary school at Saint Thomas à Becket primary school in Шаблон:NSWcity; and completed his schooling at the Christian Brothers' High School, also in Lewisham.

In December 2019, it was announced that Coleman would be taking indefinite leave for personal reasons, with Alan Tudge taking over his portfolio as acting minister.[9] He formally remained as a minister until a December 2020 reshuffle, in which he was instead appointed Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister for Mental Health and Suicide Prevention.[2] He served in this portfolio until May 2022, following the appointment of the Albanese ministry.
