Julia Moriarty is a writer who has worked alongside many of Australia’s leading creatives, producers and networks in scripted television. Recently, she was a writer on the drama series FAMILY NEXT DOOR (ABC), the comedy TOP END BUB (Goalpost/Amazon), and on the upcoming dramedy SUNNY NIGHTS (Jungle Entertainment/ Stan). She also recently wrote on the third seasons of both RFDS (Seven Network) and NCIS: SYDNEY (CBS/Paramount +). After script coordinating on season two of the AACTA-award winning drama TOTAL CONTROL (ABC), Julia wrote an episode of the third and final season, which was released in 2024. Julia’s other scripted credits include POPULATION 11 (Stan), 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.
