At the age of 6 she started working professionally in some print ads, later moving to TV spots and works in various children's TV shows. Kane was picked to join the cast of Neighbours as Lolly Allen after she entered a competition run by Dolly magazine in 2006. She was given a three-month contract with the show, and left her class at St Hilda's Anglican School for Girls to move to Melbourne, where Neighbours is produced. Her friends convinced her to enter the competition, but she didn't think she was actually going to get the role.
