Dr Victoria Cox graduated from the University of Adelaide with a MBBS with First Class Honours in 2014. She is currently undertaking clinical work at Royal Darwin Hospital and working with One Disease to promote healthy skin programs in Indigenous communities throughout the Northern Territory.
As the 2015 Chairman’s Circle Monash Scholar with the General Sir John Monash Foundation, Victoria conducted the MPhil in Evidence Based Social Intervention and Policy Evaluation at the University of Oxford.

Victoria commenced a PhD with the Menzies School of Health Research and the Northern Territory Centre for Disease Control in 2021. Currently, Victoria is a Principal Investigator working on a collaborative project which will estimate the burden of scabies in Indigenous communities and consider the impact of undertaking an ivermectin-based MDA treatment program in northern Australia, which is funded by the Australian Centre for the Control and Elimination of Neglected Tropical Diseases (ACE-NTDs).
