Au earned a bronze medal in the Pattaya City World Cup in 2010. The same year, she won an individual silver medal and a team bronze medal at the Asian Games in Guangzhou, China.[3][4]

She was one of the torchbearers for the 2011 University Games.[5]

Au represented Hong Kong at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, where she competed in the women's individual sabre event. She lost in the first round to Tunisian fencer and two-time Olympian Azza Besbes, with a final score of 13–15.[6] She reached the table of 32 at the 2014 World Championships in Kazan after defeating Venezuela's Alejandra Benítez, but lost to eventual bronze medallist Vassiliki Vougiouka of Greece.
