Professor Larissa Bamberry is a leading scholar in gender and employment relations, with a research career focused on the changing nature of work and the gendered dynamics that shape labour markets, households and organisations. Her expertise lies in analysing workplace wellbeing and organisational resilience, gender equality in male dominated industries and regional skills and labour markets.

As leader of Charles Sturt University's Regional Work and Organisational Resilience Research Group, Professor Bamberry has worked with a range of organisations and across a number of projects to understand and address workplace wellbeing, occupational violence, leadership and workplace culture; to develop, implement and evaluate gender equity programs; and to undertake skills audits for the Riverina and Mid-North Coast regions of NSW.

Her research examines why women remain severely underrepresented in trades like construction and mining, how harassment and violence impact workers in front-line settings, how organisations can better support trauma-exposed employees, and what builds resilient workplaces and communities in regional areas. Before joining CSU, she held senior roles in the NSW public sector across labour market policy, industrial relations, and women's policy.
