Career Women's Gill started curling at age 11. as well as Tahli's sisters Kirby and Jayna. The four Gills sometimes play together, such as when they, along with Laurie Weeden, won the 2018 Australian Women's Championship. They then represented Australia at the 2018 Pacific-Asia Championship, where they finished in sixth place out of the seven teams.

Mixed doubles At the 2019 World Mixed Doubles Championship, Gill and her teammate Dean Hewitt made it to the semifinals before being eliminated by Sweden's Anna Hasselborg and Oskar Eriksson. In the bronze medal match, they again lost to John Shuster and Cory Christensen from the United States. Their fourth-place finish was the best finish ever for an Australian team at any World Curling Championship to that point. Gill and Hewitt were qualified for the 2020 World Mixed Doubles Championship, but the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At the Olympics, they finished with a 2–7 record, finishing in 10th place.

Gill and Hewitt would continue to focus on mixed doubles for the next Olympic quadrennial from 2022–26, and would continue to perform well on the mixed doubles curling tour, consistently being ranked as one of the top 5 teams in the world. They would also notably win a bronze medal at the 2025 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship. This success would allow them to compete in the 2025 Olympic Qualification Event in the hopes of representing Australia at the 2026 Winter Olympics. Gill and Hewitt would finish round robin play with a 6–1 record, qualifying for the playoffs, but would lose to South Korea's Kim Seon-yeong and Jeong Yeong-seok 10–5 in the final qualification game, failing to reach the Olympics. However, Gill and Hewitt would bounce back at the 2026 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship, where they would finish 8–1 after the round robin and after beating Italy in the semifinals, would go on to defeat Sweden's Therese Westman and Robin Ahlberg 8–4 in the gold medal game to win their first world championship, as well as the first world championship title in curling ever for Australia.
