Brooke Satchwell’s mother was a school teacher and it was during her high school years when a woman came into her mother's office to sell kiddie books. This woman was from a casting agency and she then asked Brooke if she has ever done any modeling work before. The business card she handed Brooke turned out to be the key to her fame.

Brooke Satchwell first appeared as a foot model on a Clarke shoe advertisement which was followed by other advertisement appearances. After a year, Brooke became very interested in forensic psychology and spent most of the 1996 summer working part-time in a morgue. She had to leave this job when she passed the audition for “Neighbours” and got the role to portray as Anne Wilkinson. She worked on this soap opera from 1996 to 2000.

Brooke really liked the cast and crew of the soap but unfortunately, she was hit by glandular fever after a few weeks. When she was well enough, she started attending work and her first appearance on the Australian television was marked on November 19, 1996.
