Hutchison graduated from the University of Sydney with a Bachelor of Economics degree in 1976. Hutchison was a member of the board of directors of Australian companies AGL Energy and QBE Insurance.[3]

Hutchison was appointed Chancellor of the University of Sydney in 2013. In August she was made Chair of Thales Australia[4], the local branch of a French arms manufacturer.
