He has since returned to Monash Health, where he now also works within the Digital Health team, contributing his clinical, research, and project experience to initiatives focused on improving healthcare systems and service delivery. Previously, Antoni worked as a senior consultant at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI), where he contributed to state and nationwide initiatives aimed at improving early childhood health and education systems.
