Biography

Angie Bone is an Associate Professor of Practice in Planetary Health at Monash Sustainable Development Institute (MSDI). She leads the Environment and Health strategic theme, focusing particularly on system transformation for health sector resilience and sustainability, and planetary health.

Angie is a senior public health physician, with extensive public health leadership and research experience, especially concerning environmental influences on health and health equity.

As former Deputy Chief Health Officer (environment) at the Department of Health in Victoria, Angie provided expert advice to Ministers, senior officials and the community on risks to health and how to mitigate them. As Head of Extreme Events at Public Health England (now the UK Health Security Agency) she led national emergency response planning to extreme weather events, and worked with a range of disciplines to strengthen the evidence base about health impacts and risk reduction. This included action on the wider, 'upstream' factors that influence the likelihood and severity of harm to health and wellbeing, particularly housing.

This followed over 15 years of experience as a front-line public health doctor and epidemiologist in several low, middle and high income countries in Europe and Africa with a range of different organisations, including the World Health Organisation and the International Committee of the Red Cross.

Angie is a fellow of the Australasian Faculty of Public Health Medicine of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians and its UK equivalent. She has co-authored over 40 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, presented at numerous forums nationally and internationally on climate change, sustainability and health, and serves on a number of expert and translation advisory groups in relation to the environmental determinants of population health.
