He has practised in the areas of criminal, family, immigration, and same-sex law. Chetcuti came out in Sydney, Australia, in late 1972 - most likely, the first Maltese-Australian to do so - at a meeting of Cross+Section, a subgroup of the Campaign Against Moral Persecution, Australia's first political homosexual lobby group. He attended his first gay-rights demonstration, in Sydney, in September 1973. His contributions have appeared in, amongst others, Edge City on Two Different Plans (1983) and Being Different (1986), respectively Australia's first gay poetry anthology and first gay autobiographical writings.view less
