Her first recognised national cap was in 1978, though she didn't play a full international until 1979 against New Zealand. She was the 1981 Matildas Captain NZ Tour - 4 matches 4 wins. Between 1978 and 1984, Heydon played 23 times for Australia, including 11 times in full international matches.[3][5][6]
