My research and policy development, which embrace diverse academic and community settings, have been carried out in a broad, high-level, international context. I have led, and been an active senior member of, international teams investigating, consulting and collaborating in the field of population ageing and have taken a leading role in designing and implementing intelligent policy and program solutions. I am frequently invited to address major national and international conferences, maintain membership of national and international committees and have a current, leading role in Australian and international research groups.
