After completing her Articles, Sally worked as a Solicitor in Melbourne, practising in a variety of different areas of law. After a stint working for the Department of Defence and the Law Institute of Victoria, Sally returned to private practice as a Solicitor.

Marriage to a farmer drew Sally to the Goulburn Valley where she practised for several years as a Solicitor whilst raising a family with her husband. Sally, appreciates first-hand, the challenges faced by farming families in small, isolated rural communities.

As an active community volunteer, Sally has served on various Hospital, Church, Kindergarten and School Boards. As legal Advocate to the Anglican Church in Ballarat, Sally has found herself practising in the rarefied area of Ecclesiastical Law which she finds both challenging and fascinating.
