She worked as a private General Practitioner in Sydney prior to relocating to Hong Kong in 2005.

She established a territory-wide mental health practice- based research network currently involving 60 family doctors, and has been delivering primary care research skills workshops and mentoring young family physicians to conduct research in primary care.
