	On return to Australia in 1977, Yvonne was appointed Senior Lecturer in the Department of Bacteriology at the University of Sydney, still under the leadership of Professor Patrick De Burgh. With outstanding initiative and enthusiasm, Yvonne began to shape an innovative foundational structure for the research and teaching of virology in the Department. Her return to Australia coincided with the first availability of hepatitis B vaccines and she was involved in studies of the immunisation of health care workers and the implementation of prophylaxis for babies of hepatitis B carrier mothers. Most recently, her group has been investigating the effect of biofilms in efficacy sterilisation and disinfection both in the laboratory and in endoscopy units. In the Department of Infectious Diseases she became Associate Professor from 1979 to 1985 and Head from 1981 to 1992. She expertly led the Department for over a decade amid major financial, managerial and structural changes within the University and the Medical Faculty. She was appointed to the prestigious Bosch Chair in 1986. Yvonne has continued her work on hepatitis and parvovirus, but her interests have expanded to include human papilloma viruses. Her work on these viruses has included both epidemiological and experimental studies.

	For studies of the effects of drugs and disinfectants on hepatitis B, Yvonne worked with Karen Vickery to characterise the duck hepatitis B model infections using the Australian DHBV strain isolated by PhD student J Freiman. This model has been adopted by several other Australian hepatitis research groups and there is long term collaboration with the DHBV group at Stanford University in California.
