She initially attended Bendigo Senior Secondary College, where she was coached by Heather Tyler, but, with her sights on qualifying for the Olympics, she moved to Melbourne to study at Mullauna College so she could be closer to the Aquanation diving facilities in Ringwood, Victoria, and her new coach, Max Swain.

Part of her recovery was taking up wheelchair basketball. “It was very challenging to do a lot of things, to feel very trapped in your body,” she recalled, “I feel that playing wheelchair basketball helps with that, it’s a bit of an adrenaline rush, it feels like I’m able to do a bit more, gives me a bit more freedom.” She is classified as a 3.5 point player.
At the Women’s Festival of Wheelchair Basketball in Narrabeen, New South Wales, in 2015, Mellberg won the won the Emerging Glider award. She played for the Kilsyth Cobras in the Women’s National Wheelchair Basketball League in 2016, and made her international debut with the Australian women’s national wheelchair basketball team (the Gliders) at the Osaka Cup in Japan in February 2017.
