Biographical Sketch:
I currently work for the Adolescent Forensic Health Service at Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne as a medical practitioner providing primary health services for high risk young men and women (aged 12 to 21) in custodial care at Melbourne Youth Justice Centre and Parkville Youth Residential Centre. I also work as a sexual health physician at Melbourne Sexual Health Centre and as a general practitioner at Western Melbourne Headspace, providing primary health services for young men and women (aged 12 to 25) in a "high needs" community with significant mental health concerns. I have presented a number papers at international sexual health and adolescent health conferences between 2000 and 2005.
