Haddad has also served as President of the Tasmanian branch of the Fabian Society, a left wing think tank researching progressive political ideas and public policy reform. Haddad commenced further study as a postgraduate student at the University of Tasmania. After serving in political advisory roles for many years, Haddad left politics for a while, moving to the Tasmanian community sector and health sector. Haddad worked as a policy and research officer at the Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs Council of Tasmania .

Since Haddad entered Parliament she has been known to champion progressive policy. As Shadow-Attorney General in 2018, she drafted legislation to improve recognition and respect of transgender rights in the State, including removing laws that forced transgender Tasmanians to undergo invasive reassignment surgery before being able to have the gender marker on their birth certificate.
