Since Dr Robyn Miller started working with isolated, vulnerable families 40 years ago, she has seen enormous changes in the way that children’s needs are understood and responded to. When the Victorian child protection system was overhauled to enshrine the rights of the child as its guiding principle, Robyn became its inaugural Principal Practitioner. In that role she translated the rights of the child into child protection practice. Robyn is still advancing the rights of young people in the child protection system, but now it is in her role as the CEO of a large Community Sector Organisation.
