Giuliana works with the Tasmanian Health Service and has a Visiting Senior Research Fellow appointment in the School of Public Health, UTS.

Giuliana’s clinical and research sabbatical at renowned institutions such as the Joslin Diabetes Centre in the USA, Steno Diabetes Centres in Denmark, the University of the Highlands and Islands in Scotland, and the Why Wait and Ysbyty Aneurin Bevan multidisciplinary weight management clinics in Boston and Wales have enhanced her expertise, shaping national policy and practice in diabetes and obesity management.
