I am an adjunct and researcher with the College of Medicine and Dentistry based in Townsville. I have experience in service development in rural, remote and regional Australia as a researcher, practitioner, and senior manager in government. I am interested in the interactions between health systems, organisations, and communities to improve people's health. I wrote a text book "Working with communities" in 2008 and reprinted in 2015. In 2013-14 I was a volunteer with Australian Volunteers for International Development in Nepal in the Ministry of Health and Population and again remotely in 2021 in Nepal with a small disability organsiation. With the disability organisation volunteering is centred around advocating for a rights-based disability inclusive response to Covid-19 (and other pandemics). My research interests include being part of a large NHMRC team co-led by Catrina Felton-Bush and Sarah Larkins Women's Action for Mums and Bubs, and LEAP co-led by Veronica Matthews and Sarah Larkins. I am also interested in sustainable community participation in rural general practice and will be updating my PhD research in 2022.

Women's Action for Mums and Bubs (WOMB): A pragmatic trial of participatory women's groups to improve Indigenous maternal and child health
- Indicative Funding
- $1,786,415 over 6 years
- Summary
- There is strong evidence elsewhere that involving community women in decision-making about strategies to improve the health of mothers and babies is a cheap and effective way of improving health. The WOMB study tests whether community women's groups improve the quality of maternal and child health care and outcomes in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, the cost-effectiveness and mechanism of action.
