Current Projects

I am currently working on finishing reports and refereed journal articles from the Researchers in residence Program at AFAO, 1999-2000. I am also developing further research projects in policy and education for completion by the end of 2002.

I am currently the Postgraduate Co-ordinator at ARCSHS and also work quite close with the National Association of People Living with HIV/AIDS, state based AIDS Councils and in the development of HIV/AIDS Strategies in NSW and Victoria.

I am writing a novel in my head.
