Julia Moriarty is a writer who has worked alongside many of Australia’s leading creatives, producers and networks in scripted television. Most recently, she was a writer on the upcoming ABC series FAMILY NEXT DOOR, the third season of both Seven Network’s RFDS and CBS/Paramount Plus’ NCIS: SYDNEY, and on the upcoming Jungle Entertainment dramedy SUNNY NIGHTS for Stan. After script coordinating on season two of the AACTA-award winning ABC drama TOTAL CONTROL, Julia wrote an episode of the third and final season, which was released in 2024. Julia’s other scripted credits include Stan’s POPULATION 11, as well as children’s television series BARRUMBI KIDS for Ambience Entertainment, released on NITV in 2022.

Having previously worked in production with Easy Tiger, Matchbox, Fremantle, Jungle and Made Up Stories, Julia is now developing several original projects, including THE MUNDI GIRLS. The story is a 1950s-set mystery partly inspired by her own family’s experience with the Stolen Generation and conversations with women from the Cootamundra Girls Home, a training institution for Aboriginal girls who had been removed from their families under the Aborigines Protection Act 1909-1969.

Julia graduated with First Class Honours in Creative Writing from the University of New South Wales, and holds an MFA in Screenwriting from the University of California, Los Angeles. Prior to becoming a writer, Julia was a former pro tennis player and was WTA ranked in both singles and doubles, competing in 38 countries between 2008-2015 on the International Tennis Federation (ITF) Tour.
