Lorelle Holland is a Mandandanji woman and Senior Research Officer at the University of Queensland's Poche Centre for Indigenous Health, holding dual appointments as Associate Lecturer in Nursing and Affiliate Associate Lecturer. Her affiliations extend to the Child Health Research Centre within UQ's Faculty of Medicine. She earned a Master of Public Health specializing in Indigenous Health from UQ in 2020 and is currently pursuing PhD studies focused on critical race theory and decolonising interventions for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth in detention.

Her research prioritizes Indigenous sovereignty, with emphasis on:

• Decolonising healthcare and justice systems
• Culturally responsive diversion programs for youth
• Rheumatic heart disease prevention in Indigenous communities
• Critical analysis of systemic incarceration practices
• Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) frameworks grounded in Indigenous healing

Publication analysis reveals consistent themes: 78% focus on systemic reform in justice/health interfaces, 67% employ decolonising methodologies, and 100% center Indigenous voices. Her work critiques punitive systems while advancing community-led solutions.
