Grant is a Doctoral candidate in Clinical Neuropsychology and Clinical Psychology at the University of Queensland (UQ). He completed an Honours Degree in Psychology at the University of the Sunshine Coast (UniSC), where he was awarded First Class Honours and the University Medal for Academic Excellence.
Grant holds general registration as a psychologist with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (APHRA).
Throughout his training, Grant has practised across various private and government healthcare settings, undertaking clinical therapy, neuropsychological assessment, neurocognitive rehabilitation, and behavioural management interventions. He has worked collaboratively with a wide variety of clients from across the lifespan, including people and families experiencing complex psychiatric and/or neuropsychiatric illness, drug and alcohol addiction, adjustment to injury difficulties, epilepsy, sleep-wake disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders, dementia, complex concussion, and acquired brain injury. Grant’s most recent work role was within the Complex Chronic Disease Neuropsychology team at Queensland Health, working with adult clients with complex neuropsychiatric, dementia and/or acquired brain injury presentations, almost always in the context of extensive medical backgrounds and family environments.
In addition to his interests in clinical psychology and neuropsychology, Grant is an active researcher and maritime systems expert. His former research role with the Centre for Human Factors and Sociotechnical Systems at UniSC saw him engaged with multiple state, national, and international organisations. In this role, he completed numerous publications and contributed to various projects for large governmental stakeholders. His current research focuses on the integration of Systems Thinking within psychology, more specifically, examining the relationship between neuropsychiatric symptoms and the preclinical stage of Alzheimer’s disease.
Grant’s well-rounded scientist-practitioner experience provides a sound basis for collaborating with multi-disciplinary teams or health practitioners, enabling holistic assessment and rehabilitation, and supporting client health and well-being. Grant balances clinical practice at Sure Psychology and Queensland Health along with ongoing doctoral studies. At Sure Psychology, he currently provides assessment services on Saturdays.
