I am an Associate Professor at Stretton Health Equity, part of the University of Adelaide's Stretton Institute. My core research interest is how to redress growing health inequities. My areas of research include primary health care, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health, healthy public policy, and the social determinants of health.I was previously a Senior Research Fellow and Deputy Director at the Southgate Institute for Health, Society, and Equity at Flinders University, and a policy officer at the South Australian Council of Social Service.
My interests are around policy engaged research on health and social inequities, particularly Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health inequities, health equity in public policy, and comprehensive primary health care.
