Chantelle Chatham

PhD Candidate
Central Queensland University

Chantelle is a PhD candidate at Central Queensland University studying in the field of Criminology. Alongside her candidature, Chantelle has spent the past five years working at Queensland Corrective Services in both front-line and advisory roles, supporting individuals who are transitioning from custody to the community. During this time, Chantelle has seen some of the challenges experienced by individuals released from remand and this, paired with her drive for evidence-based practice, has motivated her further studies. Chantelle seeks to enhance understanding of this under-researched area through applied research, acting as a conduit between academia and industry to improve outcomes for people involved in the criminal justice system.
