She regularly fills in on the weekend news for news presenter Heather Foord or on the weather and she is also a senior reporter
Backhouse departed the ABC under difficult circumstances. Diagnosed with breast cancer, and upset at what she believed was ABC Management's lack of concern over a possible cancer cluster at the Brisbane studios, she chose her health and departed in late 2006.
The ABC has since abandoned its Brisbane studios as a result of the cancer cases.
