Dr Margaret Clark practiced medicine in remote areas of Western Australia at Lake Grace, often working under difficult conditions. She was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire on 9 June 1949 for her services to medicine in isolated areas. A piece in The West Australian on 9 June 1949, noted that ‘she has ministered to isolated patients in a wide area, travelling in all weathers over lonely and difficult roads. She has preferred to remain at Lake Grace rather than move to another centre where the amenities would be much superior’. She was also a founding member of the Lake Grace branch of the Country Women’s Association.
