During her schooling, Campbell states she could not sing or dance, but swimming was something in which she excelled. She also stated she received top marks for public speaking at school. Aside from those, she claims she was an "average student".{{Cite news |url=https://www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/sport/swimming/2014/07/12/making-splash-cate-campbell-22-swimmer/1405087200 |title=Making a splash: Cate Campbell, 22, swimmer |last=Cooke |first=Richard |date=2014-07-12 |work=The Saturday Paper |access-date=2017-11-25}}

The Campbells moved from Malawi to Australia in 2001 and it was soon after this that Campbell took up competitive swimming. She completed her secondary school studies at Kenmore State High School in Brisbane, Queensland. Her sister Bronte is also an Olympic swimmer and the pair competed in the same event at the 2012 Summer Olympics, and won the gold medal together at the 2016 Summer Olympics as

members of the Australian women's 4 × 100 m freestyle team.{{cite web |title=Campbell Sisters to swim in London |url=http://london2012.olympics.com.au/news/campbell-sisters-to-swim-in-london |work=Official Site of the 2012 Australian Olympic Team |publisher=Australian Olympic Committee |access-date=18 May 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141104182954/http://london2012.olympics.com.au/news/campbell-sisters-to-swim-in-london |archive-date=4 November 2014 |url-status=dead}}

Cate was the fastest qualifier into the 50 metre freestyle semi-finals, after recording a time of 24.20 seconds. This placed her in Lane 4 in the semi-finals against the world record holder Libby Trickett. In the second semi-final Cate placed second in a time of 24.42 seconds, placing her in Lane 5 for the final. In the final, she placed third in a time of 24.17.

Despite doing a time trial of 53.40 seconds, with her 100-metre performance of 56.39 from 5 months earlier in March and having hip problems, she was scratched from the women's 4 × 100 metre freestyle. However, she still earned the right to swim the 50 metre freestyle from her runner-up swim at the world championships trials. In Rome she finished with a bronze, beating compatriot Libby Trickett and ending 0.02 of a second off the Commonwealth Record.

In 2010, Cate and her sister Bronte caught glandular fever; they worked against post-viral fatigue as they trained to qualify for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.{{Cite news |last=Wasley |first=Alice |title=Sibling rivals Cath and Bronte Campbell in the pool |url=http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/lifestyle/sibling-rivals-in-the-pool/news-story/4ce2fa7369713f5dba3577f86059823b |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211003205215/https://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-act/sibling-rivals-in-the-pool/news-story/4ce2fa7369713f5dba3577f86059823b |archive-date=2021-10-03 |url-status=dead |date=2012-07-22 |publisher=News Corp AU |access-date=2017-05-06}} Cate Campbell was a member of the Australian team that won the gold medal in the 4 × 100 metre freestyle relay at the Games.[http://www.london2012.com/swimming/event/women-4x100m-freestyle-relay/index.html Women's 4 x 100 m Freestyle Relay] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120803144718/http://www.london2012.com/swimming/event/women-4x100m-freestyle-relay/index.html |date=3 August 2012 }}, London2012.com Before the individual 50 metre event, she contracted acute pancreatitis.{{Cite web |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200908220530/https://challengenews.online/2016-au-393-august/resilient-swimmer/ |archive-date=2020-09-08 |url-status=dead |url=http://challengenews.org/2016-au-393-august/resilient-swimmer |title=Resilient swimmer |website=challengenews.org |language=EN |date=August 2016 |publisher=Challenge Literature Fellowship |access-date=2017-05-06}} In the women's 50 metre freestyle she and Bronte swam in the same heat, finishing third and second respectively, and qualifying for the semi-final in tenth and ninth place respectively.[http://www.london2012.com/swimming/event/women-50m-freestyle/index.html Women's 50 m Freestyle: Heats] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120822143609/http://www.london2012.com/swimming/event/women-50m-freestyle/index.html |date=22 August 2012 }}, London2012.com

Campbell took an 18 month break following the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 before announcing her tilt at a fifth and final Olympics, hoping to become the first Australian swimmer to do so. At the 2024 Australian Swimming Trials, Campbell placed 9th in the 100m freestyle heats, failing to progress to the final by 0.01. With her hopes to make a fifth Olympic team hinging on a top two finish in the 50 freestyle, Campbell placed seventh. After the race, Campbell was embraced by her sister Bronte and the other finalists. After receiving a standing ovation, she confirmed her retirement in a special post-race interview and bid an emotional farewell to the Chandler crowd - the same pool where Campbell begun her competitive career. Campbell's competitors paid homage to her for setting the standards in sprint freestyle nationally and internationally, as well as for being an inspiration in and out of the pool.

In 2015, Campbell opened up about her struggles with body image. She confessed that pressure from TV and magazine models made her want to be skinny, however it reached the point where she was getting sick. She read a chapter in Michael Phelps' book Beneath the Surface, where the line "skinny swimmers aren't good swimmers" stuck out in her head. Her mother encouraged her to see a dietitian, and now believes "the sum of your worth is so much more than what you look like".{{Cite news |url=http://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/more-sports/cate-campbell-dives-into-body-image-debate-after-falling-victim-to-its-destructive-powers/news-story/eca17177f6857018b2217b106732c22e |title=Campbell dives into body image debate |access-date=2017-11-25}}
