With a focus on knowledge translation, she is passionate about utilizing real-world data to generate evidence that underpins policy guidelines for population health. Under her management, MI-CRE was awarded a $2.5 million five-year grant from NHMRC in November 2020 to deliver 'real-world' evidence for the use of outcomes in medicines in Australia. In addition to her work at MI-CRE, she contributes part-time to the National Perinatal Epidemiology Statistics Unit (NPESU), which serves as a leading national agency for information and research pertaining to pregnancy, childbirth, and the neonatal period.

Her research interests include maternal perinatal outcomes and models of care, and she has co-authored several national epidemiological reports, including the Perinatal Deaths in Australia report for 2016.
