He currently teaches Health Policy and Social Justice to students undertaking the Bachelor of Community Services, reflecting his strong interest in healthcare equity, public health and the broader social factors influencing health outcomes. His combination of advanced clinical qualifications and extensive teaching experience enables him to translate complex healthcare knowledge into practical, accessible education for nurses, disability support workers and other healthcare professionals.
As the National Clinical Lead for Training and Education, Roger is responsible for overseeing and coordinating Heal at Home’s internal and external clinical training, education, competency assessment and Registered Nurse delegation services across Australia. He leads the development and delivery of clinical education programs that support the organisation’s nursing workforce while also working closely with external disability support providers, aged care organisations and community care services to strengthen their staff’s knowledge, practical skills and clinical capabilities. His responsibilities include coordinating high-intensity support training, client-specific education, practical competency assessments, ongoing staff development and the establishment of appropriate clinical delegation and supervision arrangements. Roger plays a key role in ensuring that training and competency frameworks align with relevant professional standards, clinical governance requirements and individual client care needs. He is particularly passionate about supporting external organisations to develop safe and sustainable care practices through practical education, clear clinical guidance and ongoing nursing support. His leadership ensures that Heal at Home’s training and education services remain evidence-based, consistent and responsive to the needs of both healthcare professionals and the people they support.

Roger believes that high-quality healthcare begins with education, compassion and a commitment to treating every individual with dignity and respect. He recognises that effective clinical education extends beyond delivering training sessions and assessing practical skills; it involves building confidence, strengthening clinical understanding and ensuring that staff have the knowledge, competency and appropriate nursing oversight to provide safe and consistent care. His background in public health has further strengthened his dedication to equity, social justice and improving access to quality healthcare across diverse communities. Outside his professional responsibilities, Roger enjoys spending time at home with his three dogs and many birds. He is also an active member of a car club and enjoys participating in monthly drives throughout South Australia, exploring different destinations and connecting with fellow enthusiasts. His extensive clinical experience, academic knowledge and commitment to developing capable and confident healthcare teams reflect Heal at Home’s dedication to clinical excellence, education and the delivery of safe, compassionate community nursing services.
