Australia's National Sports Museum put several items related to her on display after her bronze medal win at the 2010 Vancouver Games.

Gallagher is an athletics competitor, competing in long jump, discus, shot put, javelin and sprinting, She became involved in athletics after learning about the Paralympics. At the skills assessment, the classifiers had her try shot put and, despite being dressed in casual athletic attire, she managed a throw that met the Paralympic qualifying distance. After a year of training, she increased this initial distance by {{convert|2.5|m}} to have a personal best throw of over {{convert|12|m}}. She holds several records in the F13 classification, including Australian and Oceanian records in the long jump, javelin and shot put, and an Australian record in discus. In athletics, her coaches have included Mike Edwards and John Boas. In January 2011, she competed at the 2011 Christchurch IPC Athletics World Championships, where she finished second in the long jump and third in the javelin throw event, with a throw of {{convert|33.75|m}}. Her appearance at the championships marked her return to the sport after having taken a break to compete in skiing.{{cite web |url=http://www.athletics.com.au/news/news/2011/january/gallagher_proves_herself_with_ |publisher=Athletics Australia |access-date=9 November 2011 |title=Gallagher proves herself with world championships bronze |location=Australia |archive-date=3 October 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181003083006/http://www.athletics.com.au/news/news/2011/january/gallagher_proves_herself_with_ |url-status=dead}}

In a 2014 interview Gallagher expressed what competing at Summer and Winter Paralympics meant to her. She said: I love the unique cultural experience each host city brings.

Gallagher was encouraged to take up cycling by Victorian Institute of Sport coach Glenn Doney. The decision to transfer to cycling was made easier after her favourite athletics event, the long jump, was not included on the 2016 Rio Paralympics athletics program. Gallagher believes that track cycling is easier than downhill skiing. She said: "Being a skier, the guide is not connected to me like on a tandem and so I need to ski at high speeds under incredibly intense variabilities that constantly change. The velodrome is a stable environment." At the 2016 UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships in Montichiari, Italy, Gallagher and her pilot Madison Janssen made their international debut. They won the gold medal in the women's Sprint B in world record time and the bronze in the women's 1 km Time Trial B.{{cite web |title=Gallagher gold headlines six medal haul on day three |url=http://www.cycling.org.au/Home/gallagher-gold-headlines-six-medal-haul-on-day-three-1 |website=Cycling Australia News |date=20 March 2016 |access-date=20 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161026163938/http://www.cycling.org.au/Home/gallagher-gold-headlines-six-medal-haul-on-day-three-1 |archive-date=26 October 2016 |url-status=dead}}{{cite web |title=Tandem duo sprint to maiden world title; Australia finishes with 14 medals |url=http://www.cycling.org.au/News/All-News/tandem-duo-sprint-to-maiden-world-title-australia-finishes-with-14-medals |website=Cycling Australia News |date=21 March 2016 |access-date=21 March 2016 |archive-date=2 April 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160402201651/http://www.cycling.org.au/News/All-News/tandem-duo-sprint-to-maiden-world-title-australia-finishes-with-14-medals |url-status=dead}} In September 2016, she became the first Australian to medal in both the Summer and Winter Paralympics when she won a bronze medal in the women's B/VI 1000m time trial at the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro with Janssen.
