She was one of the first conservators in Australia to recognise the role preventative conservation would play in the preservation of collections and in 1992 trained in Preventative Conservation with the Getty Conservation Institute in Los Angeles, USA. In 2004, Kay established Preservation Australia Pty Ltd – a conservation business focusing on works on paper, photographs, documents, maps and plans; and including preventative conservation consulting and training workshops.
