Kelly has also been an active promoter of skepticism and educating the public on the importance of critical thinking and science.
She has claimed to use magicians' tricks to advance skepticism.
She was a founding member of the Australian Skeptics, and has spoken at their national convention in 2003, 2012 and 2015.
In 2004, she was awarded the Skeptic of the Year title by the organization.

Kelly's interest in skepticism derives in part from her concern about how fake mediums and psychics exploit gullible or vulnerable people.
She has criticized television shows which present mediums and psychics as a fact, which in her opinion could undermine the understanding of science among teenagers.
Kelly also considers that a belief in the supernatural prevents people from appreciating science and the real wonders of the world, and causes unnecessary fear in young people.
