ACTRESS

Farah Mak is an Australian actress, presenter, and storyteller drawn to work that is emotionally grounded, human, and quietly powerful. Known for her warmth, intelligence, and natural authority on screen, she brings presence, sensitivity, and nuance to every role she inhabits.

She is best recognised for her role as Katrina Marshall on Neighbours, where she portrayed a contemporary, complex character navigating ambition, relationships, and moral tension within the iconic Ramsay Street world. Her performance was noted for its grounded realism and emotional clarity, establishing her as a compelling and believable presence within one of Australia’s most enduring television franchises.

Farah’s screen credits also include appearances in acclaimed Australian series such as Love Child and Utopia, along with roles in feature films and short works including The Whistleblower, Aperture, and The Very Excellent Mr Dundee, where she worked alongside an international ensemble cast.

A professionally trained actor, Farah studied at the National Institute of Dramatic Art and continues to refine her craft through ongoing training and coaching in acting, writing, and directing. She is deeply collaborative on set and values direction, specificity, and story above performance for performance’s sake.

Her background as a presenter and live host brings additional strengths to her screen work — including strong listening skills, emotional intelligence, and the ability to remain present, responsive, and adaptable in fast-paced environments.

Alongside her acting career, Farah is the founder of The Self-Worth Movement, a global social enterprise launched in 2020. This lived experience as an advocate and speaker enriches her approach to character, offering a deep well of empathy, insight, and understanding of human complexity that consistently translates on screen.

Farah is drawn to roles that explore strength, vulnerability, and transformation — characters with inner lives, contradictions, and emotional truth — and she brings a distinctive blend of heart, professionalism, and quiet authority to every project.

Farah brings emotional truth, depth, and authenticity to every role, with a natural ability to move seamlessly between drama and comedy. She is known for her sincerity and empathy on screen, paired with precise timing and an unmistakable spark of humour that adds lightness, nuance, and dimension to her performances.

Beyond acting, Farah’s work as a presenter and communicator has shaped her instinctive connection with audiences. With more than seven years as a guest presenter on TVSN, she became trusted for her ability to engage, inform, and connect in live, fast-paced environments — blending clarity with warmth and adaptability with ease. This experience continues to inform her screen and stage work, strengthening her presence, responsiveness, and confidence under pressure.

A confident and engaging speaker, presenter, and host, Farah is recognised for balancing professionalism with personality — sparkle with substance. She brings intelligence, heart, and creativity into every room, whether on screen, on stage, or guiding a live audience, with a strong instinct for tone, timing, and connection.

As the founder of The Self-Worth Movement, Farah has built a thriving global community of eeply engaged followers. Her lived experience — as a survivor, a mother of four, and a woman who has rebuilt from the inside out — gives her a rare ability to create authentic connection through empathy, conviction, and purpose.

Farah has become a recognised symbol of self-worth — not through performance alone, but through presence. She believes in the power of glitter — literal and metaphorical — to uplift, inspire, and remind people of who they are at their core… and she brings just the right amount of sparkle, intention, and heart to every project she’s part of.
