Adjunct Associate Professor Michael Ol is affiliated with the School of Engineering at RMIT University, Australia. His research focuses on mental health nursing practices, including sexual safety in inpatient units, stepped care models in primary healthcare, and cultural considerations in mental health. He has contributed extensively to understanding clinician and caregiver perspectives in mental healthcare delivery, particularly in rural settings and dual diagnosis cases.

His work explores systemic challenges such as seclusion reduction, forensic nursing frameworks, and workforce development through competency programs. Key areas include improving care for patients with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, as well as enhancing nursing responses to clinical aggression and patient safety protocols.

Notable trends in his recent publications (2023–2025) emphasize patient-centered care, evidence-based interventions for vulnerable populations, and the adaptation of clinical reasoning models for forensic and general mental health contexts.
