Background
Dr Jemma Venables is a social work lecturer and joined the School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work at UQ in 2017. Her research explores the policy-practice interface in child, youth and family practice. In particular, Jemma’s research focuses on the intersection of statutory child protection, family support services, domestic and family violence (DFV) and transition from out-of-home care support.
