Eliza Jane Taylor-Cotter was born on October 24, 1989, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. She grew up in a creative household—her mother was a graphic designer and an author, while her stepfather performed as a stand-up comedian. Her biological father operated cafés throughout Melbourne. Taylor attended Calder High School and initially aspired to become a marine biologist before discovering her passion for acting.
Taylor began her acting career in 2002 and quickly landed prominent roles in Australian television. She gained attention with a lead role in the children’s series Pirate Islands and followed with her portrayal of Rosie Cartwright in The Sleepover Club in 2003. That same year, she made a guest appearance in the police drama Blue Heelers, signaling a shift toward more mature roles.
In 2005, like many fellow Australian actors, Taylor secured a major breakout role in the long-running soap opera Neighbours. Originally auditioning for the character Lana Crawford—a role that ultimately went to Bridget Neval—Taylor was later cast as Janae Timmins following a guest appearance. Her performance resonated with viewers and she became a series regular.
Despite casting changes in 2007, including the departure of on-screen family members played by Nell Feeney and Sianoa Smit-McPhee, Taylor chose to remain on the show a while longer. However, the evolving cast dynamics and a shift in the show's atmosphere prompted her decision to leave the series later that year. Her final studio scenes were filmed in 2007. For her performance, she earned a nomination for Best Actress at the Inside Soap Awards.
