At the age of 16, Brooke made her international debut as the youngest member of the 1994 Commonwealth Games Australian swim team competing in Victoria, Canada. She swam into fourth place in the 200m Breaststroke at that meet .
The disappointment of missing Olympic Games selection in 1996 by a mere 0.11sec. did not deter her from dominating the breaststroke events on the 1996 Mare Nostrum tour, and claiming victory in the 50m breaststroke at the 2000 Telstra Australian Championships - her first Open National Title, a afeat she repeated in 2003.
At the 2000 and 2001 Australian Short Course Championships, Brooke took all before her by winning the 50, 100 and 200m breaststroke events.
Brooke was on the Australian Swim Team in Fukuoka Japan for the World Championships in 2001 where she achieved an Australian Record swim in the semi-final of the 50m Breaststroke, breaking the 1998 record held by Samantha Riley. She went on to place fifth in the final.
