Overview

Background

My research primarily focuses on population health, social determinants of health, homelessness and housing exclusion, rural health (including rural and remote health workforce), health service research, and Alcohol and Other Drugs research.

I use mixed-methods and co-design approach to explore the lifestyle, health, and health care for marginalised, disadvantaged, and hard-to-reach populations with a primary focus on people who experience homelessness and housing exclusion, people in rural and remote areas, and people engaged in problematic substance use.

I have a growing interest in participatory action research and systems science. As part of my interest in rural health, I also have a growing interest and focus on Aboriginal health and Health services, e-health, and rural workforce recruitment and retention. I also have interest in migrants, including refugees and asylum seekers.
