Born in Queensland, Mollie started swimming at the age of four and entered her first competition three years later. 

Mollie’s international career kicked off with great success. At age 15, she brought home a silver medal in the women’s 400m freestyle relay at the 2019 World Championships in Budapest.

 She then went on to compete at Tokyo 2020. At just 17 years old, she won two gold medals and a bronze medal.

At the 2022 Australian Championships, Mollie became the first woman to beat 53 seconds in the 100m freestyle event. She then outdid this in the final with a new personal best time of 52.49.

At the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, Mollie secured five gold medals and two silvers and broke a world record with her performance in the 4x200m freestyle relay.

At the 2023 World Championships in Fukuoka, Mollie became the first woman in history to win gold medals in both the 100m and 200m freestyle events. She won a further three gold medals and established herself as a dual individual World Champion and World Record holder.

Mollie achieved notable success at Paris 2024, winning a total of five medals. This included gold in the 200m freestyle as well as the 4x100m and 4x200m freestyle team races, silver in the 100m medley and bronze in the 100m mixed medley.  At only 20 years old, Mollie was the nation’s most successful swimmer at Paris 2024.

Madison was first encouraged to begin wheelchair racing by Australian Paralympic Hall of Fame inductee Frank Ponta.

She made her Paralympic debut as the youngest athlete on the 2008 Australian Paralympic Team. She’s the first Australian to win the elite women’s wheelchair race at the London Marathon in 2018, and in 2021, she became the first Australian woman to win the New York Marathon.

Going into the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, Madison was the reigning women’s 800m T53 world champion. She won her first gold in this event at Tokyo 2020. She topped off her Tokyo campaign with a stunning win in the Marathon T54 on the final day of the Games. She took home medals in three of her four events.

Since Tokyo 2020, Madison has gone from strength to strength. In 2022 she was named Athlete of the Year at the Women in Sport awards, and in 2023 won both the London and Sydney marathon.

Madison carried the Australian flag at the Opening Ceremony of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. She then went on to win a silver medal in the Women's marathon T54, and a bronze in Women's 5000m T54.

Off the track, Madison is a fierce advocate for people living with a disability. She uses her profile to challenge inequality and create a more inclusive society.
