Alexandra Bhatti is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Health Sciences, where she predominantly teaches in the Master of Public Health program.

With over seven years of experience as a clinical physiotherapist in both public and private sectors, Alexandra transitioned to public health, where she worked for a decade in organisations such as NSW Health, the Royal Australasian College of Physicians, the National eHealth Transition Authority, and the Economist Intelligence Unit in the UK. Areas of public health work have included immunisation, policy, tobacco control, eHealth, health research analysis and dissemination of complex health information for a range of audiences. She integrates this broad experience into her teaching, ensuring it is authentic and reflective of real-world public practice.  

A passionate educator, Alexandra holds a Teaching Fellowship from the UK’s Higher Education Academy and has received multiple teaching awards at Faculty, University, and National levels in recognition of her contributions to student learning.

Her research interests focus on public health advocacy in both practice and education. She is currently undertaking a PhD on public health advocacy in both pedagogy and practice, using climate and health as a case study.
