Lewis was born in Subiaco and raised in Wellard WA and was signed by the West Coast Fever ahead of the 2019 season.[1] The defender grew up playing netball for the Rockingham District Netball Association before moving to Coastal Sharks academy in Western Australia.
A prodigious junior talent saw her win national MVP awards at under 17 and 19 levels. Prior to being picked up by the Fever, she was MVP for the club's reserves team, the Western Sting in the Australian Netball League,[3] and was a part of their maiden ANL premiership in 2017. Playing in the Western Australian Netball league, Olivia was awarded the Jill McIntosh medal as the Most Valuable player for the 2018 season.
She made her Suncorp super netball debut in round 1 of 2019 against Adelaide Thunderbirds. A promising first season saw her take to the court nine times and receive the Fever Coaches Award, culminating in her being selected for the 2019 Australian Development squad. In 2020, she was impressive enough in her ten appearances to be selected again in the Australian Development squad for 2020/2021. In 2021, her eight appearances were as an impact player with very little court time. However, she was again selected in the 2021/22 Australian Development squad.
She signed with the Melbourne Vixens[4] for the 2022 season, debuting in round 1 as Vixens player 59. She was part of a resurgent Vixens team, taking to the court 12 times, including in their unsuccessful Grand Final against Fever. Olivia was named joint captain of Victoria Fury[5] for their 2022 campaign in the Australian Netball Championships leading them into the Gold medal match against South Australian Force. Given more court time in 2023, Olivia made a name for herself for handling the taller goal shooters of the competition. She signed with the new franchise, Melbourne Mavericks, for 2024.
