Quick Facts Personal information, Date of birth ...

Cameron played junior football for Kelmscott[2] before moving to the West Australian Women's Football League (WAWFL), where she represented South Fremantle and the Perth Angels. For 2019, the WAWFL was superseded by the WAFL Women's; Cameron joined the Swan Districts and reached the inaugural grand final with the club. In October that year, she was recruited by West Coast with pick 19 in the AFLW national draft.[3] Adam Selwood, the club's head of women's football, cited her "X-factor" and explosiveness.[4]

In November 2022, Cameron was delisted by West Coast.[5]

Cameron, an Indigenous Australian, is a mentor for Deadly Sista Girlz, a program aiming to improve young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women's health choices by presenting strong female role models.[6]
