I specialise in blood donor services research, with a focus on improving blood donation rates in Australia. My work examines how donor eligibility criteria shape the donor-eligible population and influence public understanding, attitudes, and perceptions. At a time of ongoing blood shortages and increasing efforts to make donation policies more inclusive of underrepresented populations, my research provides evidence to inform a safer, more equitable, and sustainable blood supply.
