When her able-bodied basketball career was cut short by injury, Georgia found a substitute in wheelchair basketball. She quickly took control in the paint and became a focal point under the rim while developing her game with the Sachs Goudcamp Bears in the WNWBL.
In winning the Championship in 2017, Georgia tallied five double-doubles for the season, leading her team for scoring and finishing second for assists to be named to the All-Star Five.
In 2015, Georgia was selected as a member of the Australian U25s Devils and quickly advanced to play for the Gliders later that year, competing at the 2015 AOZ qualifiers, 2016 Osaka Cup and 2017 AOZ qualifiers.
At the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, The Gliders won their final match of the tournament to finish ninth.
It can’t go without saying that Georgia appeared in several Wiggles videos in her childhood, as her father Murray was one of the original members of the famous children’s entertainment group.
