New Zealand Northern Force In 2006 and 2007, Anderson played for Northern Force in the National Bank Cup. During the breaks in the New Zealand competition, Anderson travelled back to Australia to play for Sydney Swifts in the Commonwealth Bank Trophy. She was the first player to feature in both competitions at the same time. In 2007, Anderson was a member of the Northern Force team that were defeated by Southern Sting in the last National Bank Cup grand final.

Southern Steel Between 2008 and 2010, Anderson played for Southern Steel in the ANZ Championship. Anderson was originally a member of the 2008 New South Wales Swifts squad but subsequently withdrew and joined Steel. In 2009, Netball New Zealand initially blocked Anderson from playing for Steel because she was not a New Zealand citizen and wasn't eligible to represent the New Zealand national netball team. She subsequently agreed to play for Queensland Firebirds, but later withdrew from the team, citing work commitments. However, in June 2009 she was permitted to re-join Steel as a replacement for the pregnant Daneka Wipiiti. She then played for Steel in the final three rounds and the playoffs. She captained Steel during the 2010 season.

Northern Mystics Anderson played for Northern Mystics during the 2011 ANZ Championship season. She had initially planned to continue playing for Southern Steel and was applying to become a New Zealand citizen. Meanwhile, Steel signed Natasha Chokljat, another Australia international. However, Anderson failed to meet the residency requirements required for New Zealand citizenship and Steel found themselves with two import players when they were only permitted to have one. Anderson considered retiring, but was persuaded by Mystics captain, Temepara George to move to Auckland for one last season. She was subsequently a member of the 2011 Northern Mystics team that were grand finalists and runners up in the ANZ Championship to Queensland Firebirds.
