In 2009-2013, she was the recipient of a Legal Services Board grant examining the Infringement System in Victoria which led, in part, to changes in that system and its scheme of operation for Victorians. From 2014-2020 she was the Lead Chief Investigator on a project examining the impact of Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) on various aspects of the criminal justice system pursuant to a grant awarded through the Office of Public Advocate, Victoria. This work was extended to specifically focus on young offenders with ABI and other neurodisabilities in the criminal justice system with support and funding from the Australian Institute of Criminology (2019-2020). The research from both of these projects culminated in the 2021 publication: Neurodisability annd the Criminal Justice System: Comparative and Therapeutic Reponses (Edward Elgar, UK). Since 2022, Dr Lansdell has been conducting extensive research on the barriers to effective participation of young people (and their parents) in court processes in the criminal justice system particular young people of disability and those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
