Following the reform of the Legislative Council in 2006, she was given the third position on the Labor ticket for the Eastern Victoria Region, behind fellow MLCs Matt Viney and Johan Scheffer, and she failed to be re-elected at the subsequent 2006 Victorian state election. After her departure from parliament she worked for the Victorian Department of Transport as Assistant Director Market Development in the Public Transport Division. Romanes was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia for "significant service to the Parliament of Victoria, and to the community" in the 2021 Queen's Birthday Honours. (en)
