Greg Marston

My research program has championed social justice and equity through extensive research with leading community organisatons and governments, focusing on housing, homelessness, work futures and social security policy. I am dedicated to amplifying the voices of ordinary Australians in public deates on critical social isues. My research, with colleagues, on compulsory income management policies in Australia contributed to the decision by the federal government in 2022 to stop the Cashless Debit Card trials in Australia.

With experience in senior roles at UQ and in research focused capacity building roles at RMIT and QUT (School of Public Health) I have an in-depth understanding of Australia's research landscape. I recognise the transformative power of genuine partnerships with governments, businesses, citizens, and civil society groups. I am committed to driving the promotion of evidence-informed public policies that create meaningful and lasting impact. I teach short courses on policy and research skills on behalf of UQ International Development to senior public officials, NGOs and private sector representatives in a range of countries in the Indo Pacific region.
