Kayla Elliott

Advocacy Research Assistant, MCRI

Kayla completed her Bachelor of Biomedicine (Honours) in 2021 at the University of Melbourne. During her qualitative research project, Kayla worked with the Victorian Infant Hearing Screening program to explore parent support needs following the newborn hearing screening. She is a strong believer in early intervention and detection of mental health in the hope that children and families will feel equipped to manage their mental health and wellbeing together.

Her hope for the Campus Mental Health Strategy is to successfully make mental health everyone’s business!
