She plays in the positions of GK and GD. In 2001, she was selected for the Australian team as an 18-year-old, one of the youngest ever netballers to play for her country. Bianca Chatfield started Netball down on the Mornington Peninsula as an 11-year-old, and since then she has become one of the best netballers and leaders to represent her state and country. Her first international duties were for the Australian U21 Team against Jamaica in the Caribbean.
And she made her Australian Diamonds debut as an 18-year-old in 2001, one of the youngest ever players to represent her country.
Her elite career became evident when she was part of the Commonwealth Bank Trophy premiership-winning team, the Melbourne Phoenix in 2000 at the age of 18. She currently captains and plays with the Melbourne Vixens in the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Championship.
In May 2011 she was presented with the Vixens" Most Valuable Player award after captaining the team alone following the Achilles injury sustained by fellow co-captain Sharelle McMahon. In 2008 Bianca was appointed vice-captain of the Melbourne Vixens and was made co-captain the following year, with the Melbourne Vixens winning the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Championship in 2009.
This was the start of her comeback with the Australian Diamonds where she fought her way back into the team and has now become an integral part of the starting lineup starting at Goal Keeper throughout the international series in 2012.
