Jasmin Bartlett is the Senior Research Program Administrator and Executive Assistant at the Matilda Centre for Research in Mental Health and Substance Use, located within the Faculty of Medicine and Health at the University of Sydney. She has dedicated over 15 years to supporting research in this field, beginning her tenure in 2010 as a receptionist at the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre (NDARC) at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). Rapidly progressing in her career, she became the Executive Assistant to Professor Maree Teesson, the Director of the Matilda Centre. In 2018, Jasmin played a pivotal role in the team's relocation from UNSW to the University of Sydney—a monumental move described as the largest strategic hire in the university's history. This transition demanded intensive efforts over nearly two years to ensure seamless operations during the shift.

Currently, as part of the Operations team, Jasmin oversees three Research Administration Officers and extends executive assistance to prominent figures including Distinguished Professor Maree Teesson, Professor Cath Chapman, Professor Katherine Mills, and Professor Nicola Newton. Her multifaceted duties encompass guiding researchers through intricate university systems, preparing executives for high-level meetings, resolving staff queries, and verifying adherence to administrative protocols. She has closely observed the centre's evolution and celebrated milestones such as the third National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Centre of Research Excellence (CRE) award in 2024, evoking the same profound emotions as the inaugural accolade. The Matilda Centre, established in 2018, is a multidisciplinary hub committed to generating innovative, evidence-based interventions for substance use disorders, mental health conditions, and their comorbidities. By fostering collaborations with clinicians, policy makers, educators, and lived experience experts, it advances prevention, treatment, epidemiology, and capacity-building initiatives. Jasmin's unwavering support enables the centre's 130+ staff to deliver transformative impacts, particularly for vulnerable populations. Beyond her professional commitments, she engages in voice acting, lending her versatile voice to University projects and creative endeavors in animation and gaming.
