Jacinta is a broadcaster hosting the Friday Revue with Brian Nankervis and Saturday mornings on ABC Radio Melbourne. She is the author of three books Unseen, A question of Age and A wisdom of Age. Jacinta is currently directing a feature documentary about the final play performance of 95 year old comedian Liz Hicklin that challenges ageism. 

Jacinta brings a powerful combination of lived experience, advocacy, and communication expertise. She offers deep insight into chronic illness, invisible disability, and the emotional realities of long-term health conditions.

As a broadcaster, writer, and public speaker, she skilfully leads conversations about mental health, identity, ageing, and resilience, helping audiences feel seen and understood.

While not a clinician, her strength lies in creating safe, empathetic, and meaningful dialogue grounded in lived experience and social awareness, making her a highly skilled speaker on ageing, wellbeing, inclusion, and community connection.
