Born in Emmaville, New South Wales, to miner Joseph Healey and Alice Stephenson, he was educated locally before becoming a boilermaker. He enlisted with the AIF in World War II, serving in the Middle East, New Guinea, Morotai and Borneo from 1941 to 1945. He married Gloria Kenning on 16 June 1941, with whom he had two children. After returning from the war, he joined the Labor Party in 1949, and held various positions in the ensuing years.[1]

In 1970, Healey was appointed to the New South Wales Legislative Council as a Labor member. Although he never became a minister in his eighteen years in politics, he was Chairman of Committees from 1978 until his retirement in 1988.[1]

Healey, a Methodist, died in 1997 at Enfield; his funeral was held at Rookwood Crematorium.[1]
