Prof Anne Roiko - Science Committee

Professor Anne Roiko leads the discipline of Environmental Health within the School of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences at Griffith University. As an educator, Anne is committed to preparing future health professionals to deal with current and emerging environmental health risks, many of which are being exacerbated by climate change.

She has over 30 years of experience as an environmental health scientist, 12 years of which were spent working abroad (in Finland and Hong Kong) in research, teaching, and regulatory roles.

Anne is recognised for her commitment to transdisciplinarity and for working effectively with government agencies, industry, and community groups, to transfer risk-based evidence about environmental health issues into policy and practice.

She was appointed as an inaugural member of the eHealth Council, Australia’s peak Environmental Health Advisory Committee in 1999, as well as the National Health and Medical Research Council’s (NH&MRC) Drinking Water Coordinating Group and represented Griffith University on the Medical Deans’ Working Group on Climate Change and Health.

Currently, she serves on several key scientific advisory committees, as a board member of the International Water Association’s Health-Related Water Microbiology Group, as a member of NH&MRC’s Recreational Water Quality Advisory Committee, and regionally, as a member of the Science Committee for Healthy Land & Water, where she also chairs the Human Health Scientific Expert Panel.
