Canberra Capitals
Dombkins played six seasons for other teams in the WNBL before joining the Canberra Capitals.

Dombkins was the given the last contract to play for the team during the 2011/2012 season after a three-week tryout. There were some concerns by team management about her potential performance ability because of a previous back injury. The Capital's coach said that Michelle Cosier's injury in the pre-season provided an opportunity to look at Dombkins as an option off the bench. She played in the first game for the team during the pre-season when they played the Sydney Uni Flames.
