The actress played Libby Kennedy on the Aussie soap for a decade before leaving to tour with the musical Dirty Dancing in 2004.
"I am hugely loyal to the show and I'm ready to go back and do what I love," Kym told the Sunday Herald Sun.
Valentine took a break from acting due to medical reasons after completing work on Dirty Dancing.
"Physically and mentally I needed a rest," she explained. "I discovered I had a hernia in my stomach when I was doing the Sydney season. When I went to hospital after the tour they found I had three hernias. So now I have a 1 1/2 inch scar on my stomach. You won't see me in a bikini on Neighbours."
