Her Excellency was born and grew up in South Australia and studied economics at the University of Adelaide, while there becoming the first female captain of the boat club in its 103-year history. The boat club was one of three initial clubs that formed what is now today Adelaide University Sport and Fitness.

In 2016, Her Excellency was appointed head of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, pursuing Australia’s interests as world powers shifted and the COVID-19 pandemic took hold. She also led the department through a period of cultural change, encouraging more women into senior ranks. She has also been International Adviser to the Prime Minister and Chief of Staff to the Foreign Minister and Defence Minister.

In June 2021, Her Excellency was made a Companion of the Order of Australia for eminent service to public administration through the advancement of Australia's diplomatic, trade and cultural interests, particularly with the People's Republic of China and the Indo-Pacific region, to innovative foreign policy development and high level program delivery, and as the 36th Governor appointed in South Australia.

Her Excellency is a Dame of Grace of the Order of St John and patron of some 120 organisations in her own right and more than 50 jointly with her husband Rod.

She is the founder of The Female Athlete Project, a women’s sports media platform reaching millions of people globally. In 2023 she authored Girls ~~Don’t~~ Play Sport, a manifesto for supporting female athletes at all levels, and children's book The A to Z of Who I Could Be. Chloe is also a commentator, MC, and regular panellist on Channel 9’s Wide World of Sports. At the 2017 Australia Day Honours she received the Medal of the Order of Australia for service to sport.

Joining the team for the first time in 2019 at the age of just 17, her outstanding leadership throughout the years resulted in Horjus being named Thunderbirds co-captain in 2026. Her international career goes from strength to strength, featuring in all three Diamonds games against Jamaica to begin the year.
