Biography
Dr Olivia Hollingdrake is a Registered Nurse, and Senior Lecturer with the QUT School of Nursing. Olivia’s research focuses on stigma and its impact on access to care for people experiencing marginalisation, including people living with HIV and women experiencing domestic and family violence. Olivia's research is grounded in community participation, underpinned by the principle that those living with health conditions must be involved in the development of research and policy that affects them.
