I am a neuropsychiatrist, NHMRC Leadership Fellow, and Director of the National Centre of Excellence in Intellectual Disability Health at UNSW Sydney. I have previously held UNSW's inaugural Chair of Intellectual Disability Mental Health and was Head of the related Department of Developmental Disability Neuropsychiatry (3DN) within the Discipline of Psychiatry and Mental Health. I took on my first full time clinical academic position at UNSW in 2009.Ìý
The National Centre of Excellence, funded by the Department of Health and Aged Care, works to improve health policy, practice and supports for people with an intellectual or developmental disability. The team leads educational resource development, health promotion, consultancy, advocacy and contributions to policy and legislation.Ìý
I work with Commonwealth and State Government Departments to improve health services for people with an intellectual or developmental disability. I sit on multiple Commonwealth and State Government Committees and provide advice to regulatory bodies in my area of expertise. I also develop and deliver courses in health and intellectual disability.Ìý
My research program spans health services evaluation, policy analysis, data linkage and clinical neuroscience. I am passionate about inclusive research practices and enjoy rich interdisciplinary collaborations.Ìý
