As a first-generation Vietnamese migrant, Khoi understands the challenges faced by newly-arrived Australians. Khoi designed and established the health-justice partnership between the Royal Women’s Hospital and Inner Melbourne Community Legal to provide women experiencing family violence with holistic hospital based social, legal and health assistance. He also established a school-based family violence prevention program in partnership with the City of Melbourne, Victoria Law Foundation and a consortium of high schools. While in the public sector, he instigated the development of predictive data models using machine learning and big data to identify Victorian suburbs with gaps in family violence, child protection and family breakdown support services relative to need.
Khoi has a Masters from the University of Cambridge where his research looked at the emotional toll faced by front-line care workers and how this can lead to the formation of rigid dispositions towards work and service users. He also has a Bachelor of Laws (with Honours) and a Bachelor of Business from Monash University. In his spare time Khoi enjoys riding and tinkering with bicycles.
