Liz Doran's earliest scripts were for inner-city adult drama The Secret Life of Us, for which she wrote several episodes between 2002 and 2005; during this same period, she worked on the four-part anthology series Love Bytes (2004), which explored dating in the digital age, and short-lived supernatural drama The Alice (2005).

In 2006, she contributed scripts to British teen drama Sugar Rush, but her subsequent work has all been on Australian television dramas: McLeod's Daughters (2008), Carla Cametti PD (2009), Rescue Special Ops (2009), and Dance Academy (2010-2012).
