I am passionate about improving the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people; particularly Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men. Currently, my research focusses on improving primary health care service utilisation by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men. My research also includes advocating for and promotion of culturally appropriate and inclusive spaces for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander fathers in the maternal and early years realms.
