His father, who had separated from Hann during their time in Melbourne, is absent from Hann’s life. Redden Catholic College in the city was where he received his education. Hann’s mother Amanda bought a snooker board for Hann to practice on when he was nine years old. After being introduced to pool by a Brisbane friend, Hann took up the sport at the age 10 Hann enjoyed playing pool on weekends until his mother convinced him to stop playing in public places. She called a snooker coach in order to teach her son how to play.
Hann was a professional hockey player in 1995. He reached No. 237 in the world after just five months. He reached No. 237 by participating in satellite tournaments. He was not discouraged and met Brandon Parker through a player. Parker agreed to manage Hann’s career. Hann was able to play in tournaments overseas during the 1996-97 season. He reached the quarter-finals at the 1997 Thailand Open and rose to No. He is ranked 104 worldwide.

Hann won the Lindrum Masters multi-format tournament in Newcastle, New South Wales in September 1998. After the tournament, he met with his mother and World Snooker chairman Rex Williams, and agreed to change his lifestyle and public image. Hann advanced to the quarter-finals of the Grand Prix tournament in the following month, losing to Stephen Lee in a 5–0 whitewash. He lost 5–9 to Marcus Campbell in the second round of the UK Championship in November; Hann’s opponent criticised him for conceding two frames in the match. Hann replicated this performance once more during the season, this time in the Scottish Open in February 1999, losing 2–5 to Graeme Dott. He concluded the season ranked No. 26 in the world.
Before the start of the 1999–2000 snooker season, Hann won the WEPF World 8-Ball Pool Championship to become the only player born outside the United Kingdom and Ireland to claim the title, and defeated Oliver Ortmann to successfully defend the Lindrum Masters tournament in August. He qualified for the British Open in September, lasting until the second round when he was defeated 2–5 by Stephen Lee. In October Hann withdrew from the Grand Prix due to his father suffering a myocardial infarction, and then the Australian Nine- Ball Championship to pursue riding motorcycles as a hobby. While doing this, he sustained a clavicle fracture and a bruised wrist in an accident in Melbourne, requiring him to not partake in the next six tournaments as he recovered from the injuries. Hann returned to competition at the Scottish Open in March 2000, reaching the second-round where he lost 4–5 to eventual champion Ronnie O’Sullivan.
Hann, who was 13 years old, produced a break in the World Masters under-16 tournament of 1991. This made him the youngest player to record a televised century break. At 14 years old, he reached the final of Australia’s Amateur Championship. He then participated in the IBSF World Snooker Championship. Hann was suspended from all domestic and international competitions by the Australian Billiards and Snooker Council on 13 October 1991 for spitting at a mother competitor.

Hann was cleared of further sex attacks on two women in 2005. The women accused Hann of behaving like a “crazed animal” and said that they thought they were going to die. One of them claimed that he repeatedly struck her, an accusation that Hann strongly denied explaining that his mother had taught him to never raise a hand to a woman. Ultimately the case turned on the credibility of his accuser, which was undermined when it was admitted she had lied consistently under oath throughout the trial.
