Jane Currie is the inaugural Discipline Lead for Nursing, University of New South Wales. As a veteran, nurse practitioner and mixed methods researcher, Jane's research program focuses on access to healthcare for priority populations. Jane seeks to improve access to care by understanding the barriers to healthcare engagement and developing lived experience informed models of care.

Jane's research is published across a range of journals (BMJ Open, JAN, IJNS). Jane's doctoral research (2018) on nurse practitioners and access to care has informed the government's 2023 ground breaking budget promise to remove the 2010 nurse practitioner Collaborative Arrangement legislation, and the government's decision to increase the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) rebate for nurse practitioners by 30% - these are the first legislative and policy changes since 2010 when nurse practitioners were granted eligibility to provide subsidised services through the MBS.

Jane is a recipient of a Vice Chancellor's Award for Early Career Outstanding Contribution to Teaching (Univ. Sydney) and Learning and a National Australian Award for University Teaching Citation, and an Australia Day Medallion for outstanding contribution to clinical education. Jane continues to maintain recency of practice as a nurse practitioner.
