Understanding the barriers to reducing Ebola spread, and identifying implementation measures that could be applied within the community and humanitarian health agencies to minimise mortality rates.

The ACT Asbestos Health Study will examine the health effects of living in a house with loose-fill asbestos insulation in the ACT. The study will provide information on domestic exposure to loose-fill asbestos in the ACT and on the health concerns of current and recent residents of Mr Fluffy houses.

This project is an update Data Linkage component of the ACT Asbestos Health Study conducted in 2015.

This project investigates the impact of telehealth on uptake and quality of primary health care in Australia.

As part of a review of biosecurity risks for the import of beef to Australia, this project assesses the risks associated with Salmonella serotype Typhimurium DT104.

AusPathoGen aims to reduce the impact of infectious diseases on public health by improving pathogen characterisation and optimising responses through large-scale integration of pathogen genomics, epidemiological data and surveillance data at the population health level.

Australia is considered one of the successful countries in responding to and minimising the COVID-19 pandemic. The collaborative efforts among epidemiologists and health experts with state/territory and Commonwealth health departments helped stem the outbreak.

This project updates estimates of cases of gastroenteritis in Australia, and estimates the economic costs of these illness in dollar terms and in quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) lost.

Collaboration with Cancer Council NSW will use data from the 45 and Up Study to conduct innovative research to provide large-scale quantitative evidence for decision making on investments in cancer control.

This project aims to conduct in-depth analysis of multiple causes of death from Australian death registration data for the period 2006-2017, focusing on the causal patterns for deaths from cardiovascular diseases, and their associations with other relevant communicable and non-communicable diseases.

The 45 and Up Study includes 1,934 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participants, within a general population-based cohort. Future work will focus on common sources of disability and morbidity, the relationship of physical and mental health, adult hearing loss and risk factors such as smoking. Indigenous inequalities in CVD and CVD care are considered below.

This project uses linked data to understand the socio-demographic cohorts in the COVID-19 vaccine strategy, COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness in the Australian population, and the fatal burden of COVID-19 in residential aged care homes in Australia.

Modelling spatio-temporal patterns in reported cryptospordiosis and its association with environmental and demographic factors

Current recommended preventive treatment with blood pressure- and lipid-lowering medications can more than halve the risk of future CVD events. However, our findings showed that >70% of those at high CVD risk in Australia are not receiving such therapies

Spatio-temporal modelling of dust storms and prolonged dry conditions on trends in respiratory mortality in Australia.

Regional (Australia, New Zealand) comparison of trends in zoonoses and their associations with environmental, socio-economic and demographic factors.

Estimating the global risk of the emergence, transmission, and spread of novel diseases

Our work aims to maximise the health of Australians by providing evidence to support high-quality decision-making on e-cigarettes for the Australian context.

In crisis settings, children and adolescents are extremely vulnerable to violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation. If violence persists, these young people will endure long-term consequences on growth, development, and psychological well-being.

Developing spatial methods to integrate global data and predict the risk of infections under different scenarios of climate and land use change.
