Mielle’s interest in chronic and communicable disease management was sparked after working as a registered nurse in the UK and Australia specialising in community and sexual health. This prompted her to pursue a Master of Public Health to shift her focus into population-based approaches. Prior to joining the Doherty Institute her role was Coordinating the Hospital in the Home service at the Royal Melbourne Hospital.
