Ms Kohler Barnard, before joining the DA in 2004, worked as a radio and print journalist and has traveled abroad extensively. She previously worked for the SABC and SAfm radio. She became the Chairperson of BEMAWU-KZN (Broadcast, Electronic Media and Allied Workers Union) in 2001. Whilst employed at the SABC she became one of the founding members of the inaugural SABC HIV/Aids Committee and also served on the Gender Committee, the Security Task Force and Regional Management Committee.
Ms Kohler Barnard moved to politics in response to increasing state interference in the management of the SABC. She was elected to Parliament with the Democratic Alliance in 2004 and was initially spokesperson on Arts and Culture. She was subsequently appointed opposition spokesperson on Health. During this time she became a vocal critic of incumbent Health Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, particularly over her support for controversial German vitamin salesman Matthias Rath. Subsequently, Ms Kohler Barnard was appointed to the senior position of the DA's Shadow Minister for Police. She was also the DA’s representative on the SADC observer mission to Zimbabwe for elections in the country.
