Club

Inglis made her debut with the Perth Western Stars in 2010.[3] In 2013, she was part of the side that won the Women's National Wheelchair Basketball League (WNWBL) championship title.[1] The Stars fought their way back from nine points down at three quarter time to win 43–40, in part due her efforts. "Georgia Inglis", wrote one commentator, "was outstanding in the clutch hitting some BIG baskets which including a one handed buzzer beater that tied the scores up."[4]

Inglis played with the Red Dust Lady Heelers in its debut season in 2017, averaging nine points, five rebounds and 4.9 assists per game.[5] She returned to the Western Stars (now the Perth Wheelcats) in 2018.[6]

In October 2013, Inglis was selected to play at the International Wheelchair Basketball Federation (IWBF) Asia/Oceania Championships in Thailand.[11] She was a member of the Devils team that won silver at the 2015 Women's U25 Wheelchair Basketball World Championship,[12] [13] and the Australian team that won the silver medal in the 3x3 Women's tournament at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.[14] In June 2023, she was a member of the Gliders team at the 2022 Wheelchair Basketball World Championships in Dubai.[15]
