The young fast bowler was part of the Australian women’s squad which cruised to its fourth T20 World Cup victory in Antingua on Sunday (AEDT).
The Aussies thrashed England in the final, winning by eight wickets.
Desperate to regain the title they lost two years ago, Australia dominated their opponents with young spinners Ashleigh Gardner and Georgia Wareham helping bowl out England for just 105.
Gardner then combined with captain Meg Lanning to steer Australia to their target with 29 balls to spare.
Notably emotional after Australia's 2016 loss to the West Indies, Lanning was unbreakable as she provided her best knock of the tournament with 28 not out from 30 balls.
Gardner was just as impressive with bat as she was ball, finishing unbeaten on 33 from 26 in a 62-run third-wicket partnership with Lanning, her innings included three massive sixes down the ground.
The tournament's best player Alyssa Healy had her lowest score of the competition with 22, but her 20-ball knock got Australia going as she pulled Anya Shrubsole for three boundaries in the second over.
The title is Australia's fourth, after they were crowned champions in 2010, 2012 and 2014 - the latter of the two victories both over England.
Vlaeminck didn’t play in the final after the Aussie selectors decided to go with the same 11 players which won the semi-final against the West Indies.
The T20 World Cup medal caps a remarkable year for 20-year-old Vlaeminck.
She was the standout performer for the Australian under-19 team on its tour of South Africa earlier this year and her training form over winter with the National Performance Squad turned heads in the senior squad.
The fastest bowler in the Australian squad, Vlaeminck impressed with the ball against Pakistan in a lead-up tour in Malaysia and didn’t look out of place in the one game she played at the T20 World Cup.
She had figures of 0-9 off two overs against India and took the catch of the tournament – a stunning one-hander at square-leg.
"If someone told me two or three years ago this would be happening now, I wouldn't have believed them," Vlaeminck told cricket.com.au.
"And even two or three months ago, if someone said I'd be making my T20 debut at the T20 World Cup, I would have laughed at them.
"I did a lot of hard work to get over (those injuries) and to get here, but it's still an amazing opportunity that I'm pretty grateful for."
