DrEdith Holloway

I am a Senior Research Fellow in the field of Health Psychology. I am a National Health and Medical Research Council Emerging Leadership Fellow (2025-29) at the Australian Centre for Behavioural Research in Diabetes (ACBRD, a partnership for better health between Deakin University and Diabetes Victoria ) within the School of Psychology and Institute for Health Transformation (IHT).

I have extensive experience working across a range of chronic conditions, including diabetes, oncology and eye health. My principle research interests focus on the implementation of evidence-based interventions into practice to support the mental health and wellbeing of adults living with diabetes. I has developed novel methods for evaluating the delivery, implementation, and sustainability of interventions in practice.

I have established a leadership role co-leading one of the ACBRD's three research themes: ‘Emotional Health’. Within this theme I am lead CI on two research programs. ‘Mental Health IN Diabetes Monitoring and Pathways (MIND-MAP)’ supported by a Deakin Executive Dean Health Research Fellowship (2022-25) and an NHMRC Emerging Leadership Fellowship (2025-29) and the Low-Intensity mental health Support via a Telehealth Enabled Network (LISTEN) trial supported by the MRFF Targeted Translation Research Accelerator scheme (2021-2024). My research programs build directly on my expertise in mental health and chronic conditions, cohort studies, intervention development, qualitative research and community engagement supported by over $2.5 million in funding.

I have supervised 14 fourth year Psychology students, and co-supervised Masters and PhD students to completion.
