She graduated from Australia's National Institute of Dramatic Art, (NIDA) in 1993.[2][3]

In 2016, Carter performed in the Ensemble Theatre production of Jane Caferella's e-baby, a two-hander play where she played the genetic mother of IVF embryos in a gestational surrogacy arrangement.[4][5] In a review for The Guardian, Clarissa Sebag-Montefiore said her performance was "brilliantly skittish".[4] Carter and Gabrielle Scawthorn were described as bringing "such life to their roles" and being "utterly believable – in equal parts loveable and frustrating – [so that] the heartbreak, when it comes, is visceral."[4] It was the Sydney premiere of the play, which had only previously been produced in Melbourne in 2015,[6] and was Caferella's first full-length play.[5]

Film edit

In 2009 she appeared in the Nicolas Cage movie Knowing as 'Miss Taylor (1959)'.[3]
