Dr Moira Junge

Dr Moira Junge is a Health Psychologist with a doctorate in Psychology and is the CEO of the Sleep Health Foundation (SHF). She is also on the healthylife Health Advisory Board. Her first ten years of her health career were spent as a registered nurse at the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne. As a Health Psychologist she has focused on health challenges and health behaviour change at an individual and population level so it was a natural transition for Moira to move across from the clinical setting to the health promotion and community advocacy setting. She firmly believes that prevention is better than cure and focuses on the translation and implementation of research. She aims to reach people, especially while they're well enough to still be at work, before chronic challenges set in. This is what underpins her advocacy and education work in the community, and why she has taken on the CEO role at the SHF. She really loves sleeping and considers herself to be a high-achieving sleeper.
