Dooley made her WNCL debut on 18 February 2018 in a 31-run loss to the Western Fury.[3][4] She managed a breakthrough performance the following season on 21 September 2018 with an unbeaten half-century to help Queensland secure a one-wicket win over New South Wales.[5][6]

In the lead-up to the 2018–19 WBBL season, Dooley sustained a broken finger injury which delayed her maiden Big Bash match.[5] She debuted for Brisbane on 26 December 2018 in a five-wicket victory against the Perth Scorchers at Optus Stadium,[7] and would go on to be a member of the Heat's championship team which defeated the Sydney Sixers in the final on 26 January 2019 by three wickets at Drummoyne Oval.[8]

On 19 May 2019, the Melbourne Renegades announced the signing of Dooley for the 2019–20 WBBL season, providing her with the chance to establish herself as a wicket-keeper—a position already occupied by Beth Mooney at the Heat.[9]
