Stacy Carter

After a decade working in the NSW health system, I completed an MPH and PhD in public health. I spent a dozen years working in an applied ethics centre, so have special interest and expertise in health ethics. I am now the founding Director of the Australian Centre for Health Engagement, Evidence and Values (ACHEEV) at the University of Wollongong. The work of ACHEEV focuses on health: the health of people, other animals, society and the planet, and how all of these things are connected.
Our mission is to make health systems more inclusive and democratic, and in everything we do, we ask how we can work towards greater justice and equity. ACHEEV specialises in deliberative and values-based research methods: these allow us to grapple with what matters to people, and to support groups of Australians to generate recommendations for decision-makers on thorny policy problems.
