Miriam Yates

Research Assistant

Miriam is a Research Assistant for the ENVISAGE Service Providers and Review of Best Practice in Early Childhood Intervention projects. She enjoys living and raising children in a small town in regional Victoria on Taungurung land.

Miriam has a background in physiotherapy, with many varied work experiences across rural and metro regions of Victoria, Western Australia and New South Wales. Miriam is mother to two children, one of whom has a rare genetic syndrome (Kabuki syndrome). As a family they live with the complexity and uncertainties of navigating multiple medical, disability, and educational services and systems.

Working in the Healthy Trajectories team gives an opportunity to bring together personal and professional experiences to hopefully have impact on wider systems and processes, making things better for future generations of children and their families.

Outside of this work Miriam enjoys volunteering locally as a babywearing peer educator and re-energises through music (playing violin) and other forms of creative expression.
