On 22 Sep 1916 Catherine was re-assigned to Duty in Egypt, and three days later was assigned to the Infectious hospital at Shubra, a suburb of Cairo. On 22 Oct 1916 she had need of medical attention herself suffering with an infection. She was confined in the Sisters Quarters of the 14th Australian General Hospital hospital until 16 Nov 1916 when she returned to duty. On 20 Jan 1917 she was transferred from the Infectious Hospital at Shubra to the 14th Australian General Hospital.
Admitted as a patient to the 14th Australian General Hospital in Cairo on 8 Oct 1917 with debility and transferred next day to the Bulkeley Convalescent Home in nearby Abbassia. Catherine had recovered by 16 Oct 1917 and rejoined the staff of the hospital.
On 4 Dec 1917 at 14th Australian General Hospital annex in Port Said, Catherine was promoted Temporary Sister, but is transferred to the Government Hospital in Suez on 9 Dec 1917. Transferred again, this time to the 27th General Hospital at Abbassia on 21 Mar 1918 where it appears she remained until on 12 Jul 1918 when she left Suez aboard the Port Darwin on nursing duty for Australia, having reverted to Staff Nurse on embarkation.
