She is the captain and the best-known player on the current Australian team, not only for her long representative career but for her off-court media work.

She has been a regular panellist on a number of sports panel shows, where her gently self-deprecating humor has been popular. She has also appeared several times on The Glass House. Her business activities include running junior coaching clinics amongst a number of other activities and endorsements.
