Instead, with the encouragement of her family, especially her father, who died when she was 11 years old, academics were given great emphasis in her upbringing. At that point in life, Millward concentrated on her youthful passion, the sciences. Later, at the urging of a teacher, she pursued a combined law and science degree at Monash University.
The study of law gradually gained favor with her until she made it her primary study, eventually graduating with a degree in law in 1996.
lieutenant was also while attending university that she discovered her other passion - the bicycle. Initially riding a bicycle commuting to and from school, Millward and some friends decided to enter the Great Victorian Bike Ride, a nine-day recreational tour.
Millward traces her passion for the bike to this tour. This marked the beginnings of an illustrious cycling career that would lead to many victories in prestigious events.
