Pep Phelan (she/her) is an Aboriginal scholar, multidisciplinary allied health professional, and academic. A queer, cis-woman, with a disability, she is living and thriving as a perpetual guest on the Lands of the Wurundjeri Peoples in Narrm (Melbourne). She is an academic at the University of Melbourne's Warru Warru Health Unit in the Faculty of Medicine Dentistry and Health Sciences (MDHS) where she coordinates and teaches Rainbow Mob (Indigenous LGBTIQA+) health and wellbeing. She is co-currently engaged as a lecturer and research academic in Rehabilitation Counselling at La Trobe University in the School of Psychology and Public Health (SPPH).

Her work is centred in social justice, liberation, and decolonisation, and her research and practice are embedded in Indigenous, decolonising, queer and gender diverse, feminist, disability/crip, abolitionist, and ecological theories, practices, and frameworks. Pep’s expertise extends to exploring the intersectional complexities of identity and experience in the context of Indigenous health and wellbeing, particularly for queer, gender diverse, and disability communities.
