According to reports, Deborra appeared "confident, poised and warm" on the Australian Open red carpet, greeting attendees as she teased a more permanent return to her hometown.
During an interview at the Open, she said: "Melbourne will always feel like home. I've had a few offers for films back here, so I'm still reading some scripts, so if there's something that's great."
The Shame star said she has some work lined up in New York, where she and her ex are currently based, but hinted at traveling in the immediate future.
She said: "I've got some projects in New York. I'm in my chapter three. I'm a creative, I love being creative in a variety of areas and I think I'll be doing more travelling."

"They love the simplicity, the food, the culture, they have family and friends here. There's no place like home, as Dorothy said."

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, several of Hugh's friends from Australia are "disgusted" with the Wolverine actor for leaving his wife.
Insiders said: "Hugh's friends in Australia are close to Debs too, and they're siding with her in all of this.
"Even though Hugh hasn't gone public with Sutton, it's an open secret that they're madly in love. It's no wonder Debs feels like she got tossed aside for the younger model."
