Shearing's most notable starring role was on the historical serials Tudor Princess and Tudor Queen (both 1954), playing Elizabeth I of England from age 16 until age 70. She continued to act on Australian radio into the 1970s (including the serials Strange Homecoming and A Relative Affair) and on BBC radio in the 1990 play Summer of Aliens. She was also active on stage.

On television, Shearing was a regular on The Sullivans as Mary Sullivan (1981-1982) and recurred during the final season of the Disney Channel series Five Mile Creek in 1985, appearing in five episodes as the ruthless Mrs. Armstrong. She made guest appearances on A Country Practice, The Lost World, and All Saints.
