A/Prof Glauert is the newly appointed Scientific Director of the Raine Study, and a Principal Research Fellow at the School of Population and Global Health at the University of Western Australia. Since starting her research career 13 years ago her passion has been to connect data-informed evidence to life-changing interventions and decisions to improve the health and wellbeing outcomes of our most vulnerable citizens. Rebecca has dedicated her career to connecting researchers, government and the community. She led the Developmental Pathways and Social Policy Team at Telethon Kids Institute, which focused on linking administrative datasets from non-health agencies to health data in order to explore the lifecourse epidemiology of many non-communicable disease outcomes. Rebecca's commitment to ensuring that data are used for public good led her to develop the West Australian Child development Atlas, a freely available atlas which geographically maps data on children and young people across WA, and she has recently been awarded a grant to create an Australian National Child Health and Development Atlas with partners from across the country. Rebecca's passion for data led her take on the role of Scientific Director of the Raine Study, and to assist researchers and government to gain access to valuable data sources that, when used for research and decision making, have the ability to make an impact on people’s lives. Rebecca has worked closely with government to change the culture around data and the use of evidence in policy and decision-making. Rebecca's work shows that with accurate up to date information and evidence governments can do a lot more to assist those most vulnerable in our society.
