Amy was encouraged and motivated to participate at the 2005 Summer Deaflympics, which was held in Australia in her home country by her teacher when she was just 18 years old. But in 2004, she met in a terrible car accident which was a major setback with a bad knee laceration and a broken thumb.[2]
Despite the terrible accident, Amy competed at the 2005 Summer Deaflympics and went onto win a gold medal for javelin throw.
She repeated her gold medal hunt in the 2013 Summer Deaflympics for the javelin throw. Amy-Lea Mills also went onto set the new Deaflympic record for women's javelin throw with a distance of 45.98m in the 2013 Summer Deaflympics.[3]
