She has worked for three of the major Aboriginal land councils, carrying out research for land claims and native title claims in the Northern Territory and Queensland. She was in the Senior Executive Service of the Queensland Government and has served on many boards, councils and committees, including the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation (1995-1998). Langton was a member of the Aboriginal native title negotiating team in 1993 that negotiated the passage of the Native Title Act through the federal Parliament.

Professor Langton carried out research for the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody between 1989-1990 and contributed to the drafting of the Royal Commission's National Report (1991).
