Career


Born in Melbourne, Newbury's first international success was at the 1998 World Aquatics Championships in Perth, Australia, where she won a bronze medal in the 3m springboard event. Later that year Newbery became Commonwealth champion by winning the gold medal in the 1m springboard event at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. She won a silver medal two days later in the 3m springboard.

At the 2000 Olympic Games Newbery finished fourth in the synchronised 3m springboard event. Four years later, she won a gold medal in the 10m platform event at the 2004 Athens Summer Olympic Games ahead of Lao Lishi of China and fellow Australian Loudy Tourky.

In the 2005 Australia Day Honours Newbery was a recipient of the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM).[3] Also in 2005, she was inducted into the Australian Institute of Sport 'Best of the Best'.[4]


Personal life


Newbery took time away from diving for almost a year while pregnant with her first child. She gave birth to her son Jet in 2002. In May 2004, she married fellow diver Robert Newbery; they both competed for Australia at the 2000 and 2004 Olympics. Their second son, Ryder, was born in 2006.


Post-diving career


In 2009 Newbery told Australian magazine Woman's Day that she was admitting herself to a psychiatric hospital for severe depression. She had also made suicide attempts.[5]

In 2014, Newbery pled guilty to drug charges and was placed in a drug diversion programme after being arrested in possession of methamphetamines.[6] In November 2018, Newbery was charged with six counts of theft, leading to a three-month prison sentence. Her sentence was suspended and she was released on parole.[7]
