Academic career
Harvey completed a Bachelor of Arts at the University of South Africa, followed by a Master of Arts at Massey University and a PhD titled Through the Looking Glass: The Politics of Advancing Nursing and the Discourses on Nurse Practitioners in Australia at Flinders University. She is a registered nurse. After leaving Flinders, Harvey joined the faculty of the Eastern Institute of Technology, where she was promoted to associate professor in 2014. Harvey then joined Massey University, where she rose to full professor in 2022.
Harvey's research concerns service provision in healthcare, including professional practice and healthcare outcomes. She has a particular interest in primary care, and inequities that affect the care people receive. Harvey has received funding from the Health Research Council to examine how to help people with chronic conditions be included in decision-making about their care, and enable their return to work. She has also researched the impact of nurse practitioners in primary care, and the concept of "missed care" in nursing that takes place after-hours and at weekends. Harvey's research showed that missed care occur on all shifts, and that there are organizational reasons why missed care occurs. Harvey has also surveyed the New Zealand nursing workforce, finding that New Zealand's nursing population is older and more mobile than the nursing population in Australia.
In 2019, Harvey was awarded a Vice Chancellor's Award and a Dean's Award for Research Excellence at Central Queensland University.
