Gormley was born in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England and moved to the Barossa Valley in South Australia at age 3 and to a farm in Tasmania at the age of 12. She is a country girl at heart, Gormley immediately made herself at home spending her formative years on the 50-acre (200,000 m2) property.
At a young age Gormley appeared in youth community theatre with a vivid memory of her first play, which was Oliver. Gormley's attraction to theatre is that she is an only child and was really excited to have people around her. Community theatre was how she fell in love with acting.
