Profile
I am a recognised leader in public policy in Australia, with particular expertise in housing and urban policy.
I have held key leadership roles at the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute (AHURI) since 2014, and have been responsible for setting the national housing research agenda and curating an internationally lauded policy research evidence base on housing, homelessness and urban issues.
I serve on a variety of ministerial advisory panels and boards, and provide expert advice to Commonwealth and State Ministers, and I am sought for evidence-informed advice by senior policy makers in Australia and internationally.
I am also in high demand as a media analyst and spokesperson, providing insights and commentary on issues and solutions across all aspects of housing and urban policy.
