She has extensively researched and published in areas including prevention and early detection of cancer, development and psychometric testing of measures to assess cancer patients’, caregivers’ and health care professionals’ unmet needs, developed and evaluated strategies for improving psychosocial outcomes in clinical practice using rigorous research designs, and undertaken research and teaching in communication skills of health professionals. Her national and international standing in behavioural science and psycho-oncology was acknowledged in 2012 with the Clinical Oncology Society of Australia (COSA) Inaugural Psycho-oncology Award, in 2015 with the Lady Mary Fairfax Distinguished Researcher Award, and in 2017, with 4 distinguished awards: South West Sydney Research Hub annual prize, UNSW in the South West Distinguished Research Prize, the South Western Sydney Local Health District Translational Research Award, and the South Western Sydney Local Health District Board Award. Her collaborative research was also awarded the Best of ASCO Abstract Award in 2017; Best Poster Award, Cancer Nurses Society of Australia (CNSA) Annual Congress 2016; Liverpool Catholic Club Best Community Paper prize in 2017, and Paper of the Year in both 2013 and 2014 - Health Services and Epidemiological, South Western Sydney Clinical School, UNSW Medicine.  Her significant service to medicine, and to medical education, in the field of cancer control and psycho-oncology was recognised when she was made a Member (AM) of the Order of Australia in 2019.

 Broad research interests include:

1)  Measurement of health related behaviours, especially in relation to well-being and supportive care of cancer patients and caregivers.

2)  Modification of the psychosocial outcomes of people affected by cancer, including survivors and their families and caregivers.

3) Research with people of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds.

4)  Modification of the behaviour of health care providers. 

5)  Evaluation of the quality of medical care, including efficient systems to support adoption of evidence based practice.

6)  Translation of research into policy and practice.
