Dr Alice Morgan is the Acting Head of Psychology at Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne, and an Honorary Fellow with Murdoch Children's Research Institute. Alice's clinical expertise includes working with children with long term health conditions, and working with trauma, particularly focused on the refugee journey and medical trauma. Her research interests lie in developing the evidence-base for children with long term health conditions and associated distress (medical trauma, phobias, anxiety, and depression), and developing culturally appropriate caregiver interventions for children living with disability in low- and middle-income countries.

“The Campus Mental Health Strategy is the embodiment of our campus striving for a world in which ALL children thrive and emphasises the importance of wellbeing and mental health for all areas of health. I am excited about the Strategy's potential to change practice and to support families from the very beginning of their journey in a holistic way” – Alice Morgan.
