Janine's research expertise is in public management and, in particular, reform and relationships. This covers topics as diverse as the creation and evolution of public service markets, collaboration and joined-up government, and devising effective performance management systems.

She have worked extensively with experienced professionals from across the world in both executive education and postgraduate programs and has been recognised with teaching awards for her teaching practice. As a keen observer of international practice in public management, she has provided expert advice to a range of policy makers including in Australia, Chile, Bhutan, New Zealand, the United States of America, Vietnam, China and Singapore. Janine is a fellow of the Institute of Public Administration Australia (Victoria) and between 2012-2018 she was an elected member of the executive board of the International Research Society for Public Management. In 2018 she joined the Advisory Board of the Australian Public Service Centre for Leadership and Learning and in 2019 became a member of the Infrastructure Victoria Expert Panel on the Role of Infrastructure in Addressing Regional Disadvantage.
