Dillon joined the Queensland Academy of Sport in 2011 after making the 2010 Westfield National Youth Championships All Star Team.[2] After being named in the All Star Team, at the age of 16 Jessica was then selected in the Westfield Young Matildas Under 17s Squad.[3] She competed in the 2011 AFC U16 Women's Championships[4] held in China. The Westfield National U17 Women's team unfortunately missed out on qualifying for the 2012 FIFA U17 Women's World Cup.
