Her maternal grandfather was an ANZAC who landed at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915 and set up resources for mobile medical clinics. Her paternal grandfather delivered Australia's first surviving quadruplets in Bellingen NSW. She worked in her first paediatric job at Blacktown Hospital and then worked in the UK in the 1980s.

She has worked in paediatric health,as well as fetal alcohol syndrome. [10] [11] In addition,Elliott visited Christmas Island with a team of medical professionals to determine the health of children,who were asylum seekers and refugees in detention. [12] Invited by Professor Gillian Triggs,the team interviewed over 200 children,including unaccompanied minors, [13] and reported on their physical and mental health,including the presence of respiratory viruses,and instances of self-harm among parents and children. [14] This led to her publishing her findings for the Australian Human Rights Commission [15] [16] on the “health and well-being of children in immigration detention”. [17]
She has worked on the health of indigenous populations in Western Australia,and Asia. She also is part of a team travelling to Vietnam to improve health outcomes,with a combination of research and clinical work. [18] [19] Elliott reported "the combination of research and clinical work keeps me grounded –nothing is more rewarding than seeing a severely ill child recover". [9]
