I am a Registered Psychologist with over two decades of experience working in front line mental health services across community, forensic and acute settings; in clinical, management, service development, education and research capacities. I have also worked in public health policy, workforce and leadership development roles within the public and non-government mental health sectors and continue to provide clinical leadership and service development support to numerous not for profit mental health service providers. For the Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) I provide specialised and strategic mental health leadership and advice to paramedics, service managers and the executive leadership team, ensuring the delivery of co-ordinated, safe and contemporary pre-hospital care for people experiencing mental health crisis.
