Associate Professor, Centre for the Business and Economics of Health, The University of Queensland
I am an Associate Professor and member of the Evolve Health, Health Workforce Optimisation Program at The University of Queensland’s Centre for the Business and Economics of Health (CBEH). This program is part of the seven strategic Health Research Accelerator (HERA) initiatives announced by UQ in 2022, with the aim of redefining the future of work in the Australian healthcare sector. As a health economist, I have a particular interest in developing and evaluating health workforce models that enable culturally safe, integrated, multidisciplinary team care using economic frameworks and system-based approaches. A key research focus is improving medicines safety in primary care – one of the Australian Government’s ten health priority areas.
