Researcher biography
Associate Professor Susan de Jersey is an Assistant Director within the Prevention Strategy Branch, Population Health Division at Queensland Health, where she leads and advises on the design, implementation, and evaluation of large-scale prevention initiatives focused on chronic disease prevention across the life course.
Trained as an Advanced Accredited Practising Dietitian and Credentialled Diabetes Educator, her career has evolved from specialist clinical care into driving system-level change that embeds evidence-based prevention, early intervention and management of chronic disease into routine health services.
Her work has focused on women and children, with a particular interest in nutrition, physical activity, healthy weight gain, and gestational diabetes, recognising the early years as a critical window for long-term and intergenerational health impact.
Susan is nationally recognised for translating research into policy and practice using implementation science, co-design, and health-system partnerships, with an emphasis on scalability, workforce capability, and value-based care.
Susan maintains strong links to frontline services, ensuring policy and system reform remain grounded in real-world clinical contexts. She is a Board Director of the Australasian Diabetes in Pregnancy Society and is committed to strengthening prevention-focused health systems that improve equity, outcomes, and sustainability for women, families, and future generations.
