Shevaun is a PhD candidate in the School of Social Sciences. Her research examines no fault compensation for serious adverse events following vaccination, and why Australia has not implemented a policy for this. Shevaun is interested in vaccination policy more broadly, as well as having a strong interest in the interaction between state and individuals in relation to policy agenda setting, policy making, and policy impact.     

Prior to commencing her PhD research Shevaun worked in the public sector in research and programme operation roles. She graduated from the University College Cork, Ireland with a Bachelor of Law, with honours and a Masters degree in law.
