All the latest NGT staff news

It has been a busy time over recent months at NGT, with our team undergoing a few minor changes – so it is time for an update!

In terms of recent departures, Dr Adam Miller is now lecturing full-time in an academic role at Deakin University (well done Adam!), but remains in the region (based in Warrnambool) and is still affiliated with NGT’s ecological genetic research projects.

A couple of our long-term staff, Lauren Kivisalu and Jess Bourchier, are currently on maternity leave – meaning one of our more recent arrivals, Toni Haywood, has been helping cover Jess’ role since the start of the year, based in NGT’s Mt Gambier office one day a week.
