She competed at four Commonwealth Games and won a medal on all four occasions. Representing England in 1986 she won a bronze medal, at the 1986 Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh, Scotland.[3][4] Four years later she represented England and won a gold medal, at the 1990 Commonwealth Games in Auckland, New Zealand.[5][6] This was followed by a silver medal, at the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.[7][8] The final appearance was when she represented England and won another silver, at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.[9][10]

Augee was a five-times WAAA Championships/AAA Championships champion winning the British shot put title in 1989, 1992, 1993, 1999 and 2002.[11][12][13]

Her personal best put was 19.03 metres, achieved in June 1990 in Cardiff, placing her second on the British outdoor list, behind Judy Oakes.[14]

She was also a World Champion in powerlifting, and a World Championship medalist in weightlifting. She was the last British lifter to win an overall weightlifting medal until Sarah Davies won silver in 2021.

Augee now works as a custodial manager in a prison.[citation needed]
