Career
Morton-Thomas grew up in the remote Northern Territory. She started her career at the Central Australian Aboriginal Media Association (CAAMA) in 1983, where she worked as a volunteer radio announcer until 1990 when she moved to Darwin to work with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation there.[3]
In 1991 Morton-Thomas moved to Sydney with her good friend Rachel Perkins, who, she says, “dragged me along with her".[4] In Sydney she studied with Uta Hagen at the Eora College for Performing Arts and worked at the Bangarra Dance Theatre as a sound technician.[3]
After finishing at Eora College, Morton-Thomas appeared in Radiance in 1998, directed by Rachel Perkins. She played the main character, Mae.[1]
In 2004, suffering from homesickness, she returned to Alice Springs, where she returned to working with CAAMA, mainly on creating documentaries.[3]
In 2007 Morton-Thomas joined National Indigenous Television (NITV) as a commissioning editor, later being promoted to senior commissioning editor.[1]
