Professor Lisa Wood, Institute for Health Research; University of Notre Dame Australia is a tireless advocate for research being relevant and useful to the real world, and the need for academia to go beyond “the ivory tower” to make a difference. She is passionate in both her professional and personal commitment to preventing and reducing health disparities, particularly among some of the most vulnerable people in our society.
Lisa is recognised nationally, and increasingly, internationally, for her leadership in the homelessness and health field. In 2017 she founded the Home2Health research team, and leads its growing program of innovative multidisciplinary research and evaluation. There is a strong focus on the involvement of people with a lived experience of homelessness as a voice in Lisa’s research, along with close collaborations with health and homelessness services to ensure research relevance and translation. Other areas of current research include family and domestic violence prevention and closing the gap in Aboriginal wellbeing.
Prior to joining UNDA in February 2022, Lisa was a research and teaching academic at the University of Western Australia. Her academic career is complemented by extensive experience in the fields of public health and health promotion, across government and non-government settings and a range of health issues.
