Tan Nguyen

I'm a health economist and oral health therapist with a passion for improving population health through evidence-based policy, prevention, and care delivery. My interdisciplinary background allows me to approach health systems from both clinical and economic perspectives, with a focus social justice and achieving better outcomes and equity.

Beyond my professional work, I'm an avid novice futsal player — a weekly practice that sharpens my teamwork, strategic thinking, and resilience. I also enjoy exploring global health trends and have a keen interest in South Korean culture, health systems, and innovation.

I’m always open to connecting with like-minded professionals, collaborating across disciplines, and contributing to impactful health initiatives.

I acknowledge the First Nations People of Australia as the Traditional Custodians of the land, water and sky, in which I live and work. I am thankful for the deep meaningful connections between people and place, which continues to influence and inspires my view of the world. I am thankful for the opportunities to learn, unlearn and learn. My home is in Naarm, the lands of the Bunurong Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation. Sovereignty has never been ceded. It always was and always will be, Aboriginal land.
