She worked as a teacher of deaf people and was the founder-director of HEAR (Hearing Education and Aural Rehabilitation) Service of the Victorian Deaf Society. She was granted a Churchill Fellowship to survey the rehabilitation techniques overseas, and she produced a text on aural rehabilitation, titled By Word of Mouth: A Rehabilitation Course in Better Hearing, Lip Reading, and Speech Conversation, Australian Triple Approach (1968), which has been republished many times. She won the inaugural Community Educator of the Year award in 1986.
