‘‘There’s such a shortage of physiotherapists in the country – there’s such a shortage everywhere – who are trained in this area (disability support) that I have seen a couple of kids.


‘‘One came down from Darwin because they couldn’t get anyone up there and it ended up in my community, so I just couldn’t say no.’’


This year marks 50 years since Williams started her career as a physiotherapist. Some of her previous roles were at the Royal Children’s Hospital’s cardiorespiratory unit and burns unit, and as a lecturer in paediatrics and rural physiotherapy at the University of Melbourne, where she is an honorary senior fellow.


In 2007, Williams was awarded the Australian Physiotherapy Association Anne McCoy Award from the National Paediatrics Victorian Group and she received an Order of Australia Medal for her contribution to paediatric physiotherapy and rural Victoria in 2011.


‘‘I would love someone else to pick up on all the questions my research has raised,’’ says Williams. ‘‘This is what happens with research. It’s the proverbial brick in the wall. Unfortunately, there’s not a very big wall for plagiocephaly prevention.’’
