During the 2023–24 FIS Freestyle Ski World Cup, she earned her second career World Cup podium on 2 February 2024, again finishing in third place. During the 2024–25 FIS Freestyle Ski World Cup, she earned her first career podium in the mixed team aerials event on 19 January 2025, finishing in third place. This was Australia's first aerial skiing mixed‑team World Cup medal since 2017. On 7 February 2025, she finished third in the aerials event, in an Australian podium sweep.

In January 2026, she was selected to represent Australia at the 2026 Winter Olympics. She qualified for the women's final, finishing tenth with a jump of 88.83. Along with silver medalist Danielle Scott and Reilly Flanagan, the Australian mixed aerials team qualified for the gold medal final, finishing fourth with a score of 256.04 from their three jumps.

Willcox holds a Bachelor of Business from Swinburne University of Technology, which she completed while balancing the demands of international competition. Since 2022, she has worked for the Brisbane Broncos in the National Rugby League (NRL) as a Game Day Coordinator. She has credited this professional role as a vital "protective factor" for her mental health, noting that her career in the NRL provides a sense of identity and purpose separate from her sporting results. In this role, she works to normalize conversations around mental health and resilience, drawing on her own experiences with long-term injury and selection setbacks. She is particularly focused on mentoring the next generation of athletes to build a multi-dimensional identity that extends beyond their athletic performance.
