Associate Professor, Deakin University

I lead research which is participatory and co-designed involving people with disability and complex support needs, including people from refugee backgrounds. I have worked in the disability sector in Australia for over 40 years and as an academic since 2011 when I received my PhD from The University of Sydney.
