From a young age, Isla showed an interest in both acting and writing. At nine years old, she was appearing in Australian TV commercials. She landed some small parts in the Australian television series "Bay Cove" (1993) (aka "Bay City"). This led to a bigger part in the television series "Paradise Beach" (1993).
