President: Louise Clark
Dr Louise Ann Clark is a public health academic at the University of
Tasmania. Currently she is Course Coordinator for the Master of Public
Health. Beginning her career as a nurse in Tasmania, her passion for
public health was ignited by three decades in the Northern Territory
where she held diverse roles spanning public health academic leadership
and senior health policy and strategy development in chronic disease
management, primary health care and Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander health. Her research interests include the implementation and
evaluation of interventions in health care services, particularly in
rural and remote health contexts. She is an advocate for developing
locally relevant curriculum and expanding the public health workforce
across the spectrum of health protection, health promotion and
preventive health.
