She was commissioned to investigate stories of cruelty within some of the aboriginal communities. In 1910, she was appointed a Travelling Protector, meaning she was permitted to conduct inquiries into native conditions and problems, such as employment on stations, guardianship and the morality of native and half-caste women in towns and mining camps.

She became a true friend and protector of the Aborigines, using her own money to improve conditions for the Aborigines, at considerable personal sacrifice, while still preserving aboriginal culture and traditions.
