Biography:

Within the Menzies Division of Wellbeing and Preventable Chronic Diseases Yomei manages the Return to Country: A national platform study, a study to understand why Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians with renal disease have a quarter the chance of a kidney transplant and a third the chance of treatment that allows them to return home. The research explores these questions and tests health service changes to increase the chances of better treatment, at home, for the 300 Indigenous Australians starting long-term dialysis every year.

At the Centre for Child Development and Education (2011-2018), Menzies Yomei was involved in several research studies to support parents and children through better service and interventions in their communities working across the Northern Territory, Torres Straits and in Papua New Guinea.

Yomei is interested in culture, diversity and inclusion particularly as it relates to health care provision, parenting and early childhood.
