Dr Natasha Reid

Dr Natasha Reid is a Senior Research Fellow and Behavioural Scientist at The Australian Frailty Network and The University of Queensland. Her work sits at the intersection of behaviour change theory and practice, healthy ageing, and frailty prevention, with a particular focus on designing and evaluating interventions that improve quality of life, function, and long-term wellbeing for older adults.

Natasha’s research spans community, hospital, cancer, rehabilitation, and long-term-care settings, combining large-scale epidemiological studies with the development of behaviour-change interventions at both individual and system levels. She is particularly known for her work addressing the intention–behaviour gap in real-world health settings and for advancing values-led, long-term behaviour-change approaches. She has led and contributed to national projects across primary care, frailty screening and management, transition care, and digital health. Natasha works closely with stakeholders and consumer groups to co-design and implement evidence-based strategies that can be translated into practice and policy.
