Vinson grew up in Cronulla, Sydney. She had an active childhood, playing various sports and dancing.
When she was 12, she started studying at the Brent Street School of Performing Arts in Sydney.
"I began dance at a very early age and come from three generations of musical theatre performers. I studied ballet for many years and then jazz, modern and hip-hop. I also studied acrobatics and martial arts," she told Elle in 2013.
At 17, Vinson was introduced to the entertainment industry for the first time.
She and three other girls were grouped together to perform in a pop girl group called Firefox IV. But the group's first and only single titled 'Roses' failed to cut through and the group broke up soon after.
After the pop group split, Vinson made her acting debut playing various minor roles on Home and Away. In those roles, the casting agents became so impressed with her that they requested she plays a series regular.
