Dr. Regina Crameri’s work has been shaped by sustained involvement across government, research, defence, and institutional environments where long-term capability, coordination, and accountability are required to coexist.

Her background is grounded in biomedical science and applied research, with early academic and research appointments spanning Australian and international institutions. This foundation led into extended work within Australia’s defence and innovation ecosystem, including senior scientific and institutional roles within the Department of Defence, research organisations, and university-linked centres operating at the interface of science, policy, and applied capability.

Over time, Regina’s work expanded beyond research into the design and stewardship of large, multi-stakeholder initiatives. Her roles have involved close engagement with government, industry, academia, and international partners across defence, critical technologies, and health-related domains. In these settings, she has operated within environments characterised by public accountability, complex governance, and competing institutional priorities.

In parallel, Regina has maintained an active role in organisational leadership and board environments, contributing to oversight, risk, and integrity functions across a range of public, not-for-profit, and sector-based bodies. Her involvement has focused on continuity, institutional resilience, and the alignment of purpose, structure, and delivery.

Regina’s contribution is informed by proximity to institutional reality. She brings an understanding of how policy intent, scientific capability, organisational design, and execution interact over time, and where misalignment can quietly erode outcomes. Her work reflects sustained exposure to uncertainty, long time horizons, and environments where responsibility cannot be delegated or simplified.

Within the Aurelian Order, Regina serves in a custodial capacity where matters involve government interfaces, defence and critical technology ecosystems, large-scale programs, or institutional capability development. Her role is to help ensure that collective examination remains grounded in how public and institutional systems function in practice, including constraints of governance, accountability, and delivery.
