She has successfully supervised 19 students completing research as part of their Honours degrees in Bachelor of Behavioural Science (Hons) at QUT), Bachelor of Psychological Science (Hons) at The University of Queensland and Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Advanced Studies (Hons) at The University of Sydney. She has also supervised 15 coursework Masters research dissertations in Master of Applied Psychology (UQ), Master of Health Management (QUT), Master of Educational and Developmental Psychology (QUT), Master of Science (Hons) in Genetic Counselling (Griffith University) and Master of Public Health (QUT).

HDR supervision is also central to Associate Professor Miller's teaching and research agenda. The PhD, Masters and Honours students whom she has mentored have routinely published articles from their work in peer-reviewed journals and gone on to create careers in clinical, research, and academic settings. She takes an individualised, apprentice-based approach that supports students in the preparation of their theses while facilitating a broad and strategic approach to skill development that is tailored to individual goals.
