Here you will find information about the work that I do as well as access many publicly available research reports, presentations, submissions and Opinion Pieces.
In 2025, I launched a professional learning series - Rethinking Demographic Change - designed for leaders and decision-makers, policy advisers, not-for-profit and non-government organisation executives and advocates. The three courses in the series are designed to be intensive and intentional learning experiences, balancing knowledge building through theory and application through practice. The aim of each course is that you will be able to immediately apply your new-found or deepened knowledge in your everyday work.
Rethinking Demographic Change Professional Learning Series
Designed using a Science of Learning lens to:
The series consists of three mutually exclusive but complementary intensive, intentional, professional learning experiences:

Fundamentals in decision-making and demographic change using a systems thinking framework - 2 day PL course
The policy-making environment is increasingly demanding data-informed and evidence-based foundations. This course will provide you with the knowledge and tools to:
The course is grounded in four key theoretical frameworks and their application in policy-setting:
• Systems thinking • Theories of demographic change
• Principles of the life course • The Iceberg Model
Next course: Thursday, 21st and Friday 22nd of August, 2025, Hobart - $950 (excluding GST)

Understanding Population Dynamics - one day PL course
Given the increasing demand for data-informed, evidence-based decision-making, this intensive and intentional professional learning course will provide you with a deeper understanding of population dynamics through four lens': economic, demographic, human and spatial so that you are better able to analyse and interpret population data to inform your decision-making or policy advice. The course contains both theory and practical application to real-world, local scenarios.
Inaugural course: Friday, 12th of September, 2025, Hobart ($500 exc. GST)

One other intensive professional learning experiences is planned for 2025:
• Using population projections for policy and planning purposes (1 day) - $500

Rethinking Demographic Change Professional Learning Series
Designed using a Science of Learning lens to:
- Equip more people with the knowledge and understanding of the theoretical foundations of demographic change and the tools of systems thinking
- Support and enable deeply informed decision-making with a view to achieving both short-term and longer-term economic and social prosperity as well as greater equity
The series consists of three mutually exclusive but complementary intensive, intentional, professional learning experiences:
- Fundamentals in decision-making and demographic change using a systems thinking framework (2 day) - $950
- Understanding Population Dynamics (1 day) - $500
- Using population projections for policy and planning purposes (1 day) - $500

Fundamentals in decision-making and demographic change using a systems thinking framework - 2 day PL course
The policy-making environment is increasingly demanding data-informed and evidence-based foundations. This course will provide you with the knowledge and tools to:
- Understand the inter-connected relationship between policy settings and socio-demographic change
- Better understand the context - the why - underpinning the data and evidence
- How best to influence desired outcomes through policy development; and
- Enable anticipation - and mitigation - of unintended consequences.
The course is grounded in four key theoretical frameworks and their application in policy-setting:
• Systems thinking • Theories of demographic change
• Principles of the life course • The Iceberg Model
