As a girl, Wilson studied drama and dance at Cheshire Dance Academy in North Narrabeen, Sydney in the early 80s.

Wilson made her television debut playing a minor role in the 1985 mini-series Professor Poopsnagle's Steam Zeppelin. Her first major role was in the ABC TV mini-series Brides of Christ in 1991. She played Darcy Hudson in the popular medical drama A Country Practice from 1991 to 1993. Following her stint on A Country Practice she played guest roles in Heartbreak High and All Saints.

In 1996 she had a starring role in the original McLeod's Daughters telefilm, which remains the highest rated television film of all time in Australia. Wilson did not reprise her role for the subsequent television series.

Wilson moved to the United States in 1998 to escape press attention over her alleged affair with and the death of Michael Hutchence, where she undertook a three-month acting scholarship assisted by the Winston Churchill Fellowship, which she had won before Hutchence's death on 22 November 1997.
