She attended St Mary's Primary School in New South Wales before going on to Crookwell High School.

She plays for the NSW Arrows in the Australian Hockey League, where she wears shirt number 3. She has played club field hockey for the Crookwell Golf Club, ANU, and the Park Panthers.

National team

When Adam Commens became the Hockeyroos' new coach in January 2011, Chalker was one of four players identified to develop the national side. She made her Australian debut in 2011, in a match against New Zealand in Hobart, Tasmania. In June 2012, she played in the Investec London Cup. She played in Australia's 1–4 loss to the Netherlands, scoring her team's only goal. In the 4–1 win against Ireland in the lead up London, she scored the team's second goal. Her goal was the second of the tournament. As of June 2012, she had 22 caps with the Hockeyroos, and 7 international goals.

Chalker was named to the Australia women's national field hockey squad that competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics. As a teenager, she was the youngest member of the team.

Chalker qualified for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. She was part of the Hockeyroos Olympics squad. The Hockeyroos lost 1-0 to India in the quarterfinals and therefore were not in medal contention.
