Jacinda Ardern to take on new role at Sydney University

Dame Jacinda Ardern has scored a new job across the ditch, teaching Australians about leadership and social cohesion.

Sydney University has just announced the former Prime Minister will join as a Professor of Practice, based in its School of Public Health.

The new role comes eight months after Ardern and her family relocated to Sydney.

Australian correspondent Murray Olds says Ardern will step into the role next month - and her work will be based around exploring ways to address global health challenges through equity and inclusion.
