His relationships contributed to the evidence flow between international and Australian research and practice. He brings his background in occupational therapy, rural health, early childhood development and mental health promotion, prevention and early intervention to the fore by leading systems change and workforce development strategies that build the knowledge, skills and capacity across systems and workforces.
