She set a personal best of 2:08.36 in the final of 200m butterfly in Birmingham, but narrowly missed a medal.
After swimming at the 2023 world championships in Fukuoka, Japan, Abbey finished third in the 200m butterfly at the 2024 Australian championships and made the final of the 400m freestyle.
She booked her ticket to her first Olympics in Paris when she finished second in the 200m butterfly at the Australian trials in Brisbane in June, in a time of 2:06.82 after clocking a PB in her heat swim.
