Not only that, but she also starred in the inaugural season of NCIS Sydney, Bronte Rescue, and played Holden Jones on Housos.

“Seeing myself for the first time on TV, I feel so much more confident, and it made me really proud of myself as I really do believe I deserve to be on screen,” she told the Coast Community News about being a part of Housos.

She also featured in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, and according to her LinkedIn account, appeared in an NRL campaign for Nine this year.

Why is Kyrah on Big Brother Australia?

Throughout the Big Brother experience, Kyrah has worn her heart on her sleeve.

Determined to win the $125,000 prize, she’s said she wants to offer representation and awareness for autistic people and those living with ADHD.

“My autism makes me very meticulous and detailed, and my ADHD makes me monologue,” she explained after a tense interaction with Ebony earlier in the 2026 season.

“Autism in Greek means ‘self in the world ‘, and we relate to everything through the lens of our own experiences, because that’s how we try and connect to people, and how they come across is we’re always talking about ourselves. We also struggle to see things at face value, like we take everything literally, so if someone’s upset, ‘Oh, they’re upset at me’.”

“Honestly, I am still learning a lot about it myself.”

She received her autism diagnosis when she was 15, and her twin brother is also autistic.
