Kelly first joined the senior national team in 2002.[2] She finished seventeenth in the all-around at the 2003 WOGA Classic.[3] She then competed at the 2003 Pacific Challenge with Hayley Tyrell, Lisa Skinner, Monette Russo, Jacqui Dunn, and Stephanie Moorhouse, and the team finished fourth.[4] She was selected to represent Australia at the 2003 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships alongside Monette Russo, Belinda Archer, Allana Slater, Jacqui Dunn, and Stephanie Moorhouse. During the qualification round, Kelly scored a 9.050 on vault and an 8.437 on the floor exercise to help the team qualify for the team final in seventh place.[5][6] Although Kelly did not compete in the team final,[7] she still received the bronze medal that the team won, which was Australia's first team medal at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships.[8]
