Martina’s career focus is health equity and women’s reproductive choice. Throughout her undergraduate and master’s degrees she focussed on women’s health with research on adolescent pregnancy and contraception services in Chile, and access to termination of pregnancy in Far North Queensland. She has lectured in reproductive health and continues to teach in Obstetrics. She believes passionately that providing women with reproductive choice is vital for social equality and that human health is intimately linked with a healthy environment.
