Langbroek also worked regularly as a script-writer on Australian television for over a decade, focusing primarily (but not exclusively) on sit-coms, sketch comedies, and soap operas. The programs for which she has written include Col'n Carpenter (1990), All Together Now (1991-1993), The Bob Morrison Show (1994), Us and Them (1995), Shark Bay (1996), Medivac (1996), Get a Life (1997), Full Frontal (1997), Neighbours (1994-1997), and The Big Schmooze (2000-2001).

In 2019, Langbroek moved her family to Italy for what was intended to be a year, but was extended as a result of Italy's COVID-19 lockdown. The experience forms the basis of her memoir Ciao Bella! Six Take Italy.
