Hunt made her debut for the Australia national team on 16 February 2023 in a 4–0 win over Czech Republic in the Cup of Nations, where she came on as a second-half substitute for Aivi Luik. She was also used in two other games in the tournament, as well as two other friendlies in April. On 3 July 2023, Hunt was selected for the 2023 World Cup squad. On 4 June 2024, Hunt was named in the Matildas team which qualified for the Paris 2024 Olympics, her debut Olympics selection. Later that year, she scored her debut goal for Australia in a 1–2 win against Germany on 28 October in Duisburg, Germany. In March 2026, Hunt was part of the Matildas team which finished as runners-up in the 2026 AFC Women's Asian Cup, where she started in 4 out of the 5 matches played by the Matildas and sustained an injury to her right knee which required her to undergo surgery.

Clare Hunt grew up in the rural town of Grenfell, New South Wales. She joined the Canberra United Academy at 15. Her older brother, Henry, plays for the South Australia cricket team and her younger sister, Anna, has represented the Matildas at a junior level. Hunt attended Henry Lawson High School in Grenfell.

Hunt's best friend is Australia national team teammate Clare Wheeler (a defensive midfielder for Everton), with both being alumnae of St Andrew's College at the University of Sydney and their close bond having remained ever since. At her club Tottenham Hotspur, she is also close friends with Japanese fellow centre back Tōko Koga and Dutch goalkeeper Lize Kop. Upon arriving at Tottenham, Koga received assistance from Hunt in settling in and improving her English skills (partially inspired by her own struggles communicating during her time at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) due to her inability to speak French), and the pair subsequently swapped jerseys following the 2026 AFC Women's Asian Cup final in Sydney, in which Japan defeated Australia 1–0.
