In 1975, Matison won the doubles of the Western Australian Championships in Perth partnering Lesley Turner Bowrey, beating Sue Barker and Michelle Tyler-Wilson in the final. In 1983, she won the singles titles at the final edition of the Western Australian Hard Court Open Championships in Wongan Hills.
