Before accepting the role of Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commissioner, Jenkins was the lead partner of Herbert Smith Freehills' Australian equal opportunity practice. There, she led the firm’s Melbourne Women in Business group for more than a decade and was the lead employment partner in the firm’s pro bono community program.[5]

Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission

Jenkins is the convener of the Victorian Male Champions of Change,[6] the Chair of the Independent Review into sex discrimination and sexual harassment, including predatory behaviour in Victoria Police[7][8] and the Co-Chair of Play by the Rules. She is also the Co-Chair of the Commission’s Disability Reference Group and a member of the Aboriginal Justice Forum.[1]

She was recognised in the Australian Financial Review and Westpac 100 Women of Influence Awards for 2015 for her contribution in addressing equal opportunity and human rights issues in Victoria.[9]

In October 2015 Jenkins was appointed to the board of Carlton Football Club, where she has promised to work towards creating a female team for the upcoming women's AFL competition.[10]

Jenkins was a signatory to a statement by the Australian Council of Human Rights Authorities defending the independence and supporting the work of the Australian Human Rights Commission.[11]
