Early life and education

Mortlock and her family traveled around Australia via camper trailer when she was 9 years old. She was homeschooled together with her two younger. They settled in Jerilderie soon after.

In September 2018, she graduated from Finley High School in Finley, New South Wales. She eventually entered the University of Wollongong in Wollongong, New South Wales to obtain double bachelor's degrees in global sustainability and politics.

During one of her interviews after her Miss Earth-Air 2022 win, Mortlock shared that she plans to do her responsibilities as Miss Earth-Air together with her academic obligations.

Pageantry

Miss Earth Australia

Mortlock has entered Miss Earth Australia three times.[6]

Mortlock's first pageant was Miss Earth Australia 2019, where she won Miss Earth – Australia Air 2019. She also won the special awards of "Miss Photogenic" and "Darling of the Press."

On 4 September 2022, Mortlock won Miss Earth Australia 2022 at Hyatt Regency in Sydney, Australia, also receiving the special awards; "Darling of the Press", "Best in Swimwear" and "Best in Evening Gown". She was crowned by Miss Earth Australia 2021, Phoebe Soegiono.[7]

Miss Earth 2022

By winning Miss Earth Australia 2022, Mortlock was tasked to have advocacy as one of the core requirements for joining Miss Earth. Her advocacy was Action, Care, and Education (ACE). Mortlock added, "Climate change and environmental protection are all linked through webs of connection. If we change one element of the ecosystem, then it will ripple out to others. This is why we must use the pillars of ACE to make the most effective changes. Only through Caring about our environment, Educating ourselves on current environmental changes, and then taking direct Action will we be able to protect Mother Earth."[8]

The main theme of Miss Earth 2022 was ME Loves Fauna, and candidates were required to promote a creature from their country; Mortlock chose the Swift parrot . She said that according to reports, there are only 750 left which makes it a critically endangered species. She cited the habitat loss in Tasmania, which is the Swift parrots' breeding grounds, as the main reason this.

Mortlock competed with 85 other entries at Miss Earth 2022.

During the course of the preliminary events, she won the following awards:

  • 1st place, gold medalist(s) Darling of the Press (Asia & Oceania)[9][10]
  • 2nd place, silver medalist(s) Swimsuit Competition (Asia & Oceania)[11]
  • 3rd place, bronze medalist(s) Beach Wear Competition (Fire Group)[12]
