Full Bio

Karin Carvalho is an Australian television news anchor with almost 20 years experience in journalism. Born in Sri Lanka, Karina’s family’s businesses which had been passed on for generations were burned down during the Colombo riots of 1983. The family left behind the violence of the country’s civil war to begin a new life in Australia. It was this experience that would profoundly shape Karina as a reporter along with her perspective on world issues and current affairs. Karina grew up in Perth and graduated from the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts with a Broadcast major. After University, Karina moved to the United Kingdom where she worked at the BBC as a producer on programs such as HARDtalk, and also travelled on assignment to the USA. After her return to Perth, Karina Carvalho began reporting for the ABC. At just 27 years old, Karina was appointed to present the ABC’s flagship 7pm News in Western Australia. She was one of the youngest prime time anchors in the country. Karina then co-hosted ABC News Breakfast in Melbourne with Michael Rowland, before spending five years as Queensland’s 7pm News presenter, based in Brisbane. Since 2018, Karina has been based in Sydney, hosting Evenings, a national prime time program on the ABC News Channel. Karina Carvalho has interviewed Prime Ministers, politicians, authors and celebrities. Karina was one of the last journalists to interview Bryce Courtenay before his death about the inconsistencies in his life story.
