Sue Gordon worked as a physiotherapy clinician in metropolitan and rural South Australia until 2006 when she moved to James Cook University. Sue contributed to the development of the curriculum for a new physiotherapy program and is currently head of the physiotherapy discipline.

Her rural and remote clinical experience has resulted in research collaborations across organisations and across the nation regarding preparation of graduates for practice.

Her clinical research and supervision is foccussed on the development of diagnostic and clinical pathways, and the application and evaluation of new tools to support to improve diagnostic and clinical pathways. She is currently conducting and supervising reserach about subacromial impingment, chronic low back, running injuries and hetertopic ossification.

Sue is the research advisor to the Australasian Lymphology Association and is actively involved in research regarding secondary lymphoedema after breast and urogenital cancers, and related to lymphatic filariasis. As a member of the James Cook University, World Health Organisation Collaborative Centre for Lymphatic Filariasis and Soil Helminths she has developed research collaborations in Papua New Guinea and Bangladesh.
