Giblin was born in Tamworth, New South Wales, to Phyllis and Ted, she has two older brothers Ted Jn. and Graham and a younger sister Allison. Her father Ted was a doctor at the Tamworth Base Hospital. Her mother ran the dramatic society, and acted and directed in productions[1] but then died of breast cancer when she was 23, her dad died when he was 83.[2] Giblin was offered a scholarship to the Australian Ballet School when she was 17, but chose to study arts at the University of Sydney. Then she studied at the National Institute of Dramatic Art, before leaving after a year to practise her craft.[3]
She played in the risqué, satirical 1970s soap opera The Box as Kay Webster,[1] and the in the 1980s melodrama Sons and Daughters as Alison Carr. The Alison Carr character was revealed to be the post-plastic surgery incarnation of the show's original and much vaunted villain, 'Pat The Rat' – Patricia Hamilton,[4] originally played by Rowena Wallace. Giblin was cast in the role because of her resemblance to Wallace.[5]
Giblin appeared in numerous roles by Crawford Productions over a 12-year period early in her career many filmed in black and white, television roles include appearances in Matlock Police,[2] Division Four, Homicide, The Sullivans,[1] Alvin Purple (1976), Bluey (1976), Heartbreak High, Skyways,[1] Good Guys, Bad Guys, as well as Home and Away as Cynthia Ross in 1991 and Martha Stewart, the first wife of regular Alf Stewart, from 2018.[6]
Since 2013, she has also guest starred in The Horizon, a gay shortform web-series on YouTube, as Wilma (the drag queen's) mother.[7]
In 2016, she performed at the Sydney Opera House, 'Blonde Poison',[2] a one-woman show about a Jewish woman who became a Nazi collaborator during World War II.[4]
In 2017, she appeared in 'Bent 101' as 'Babs DeVure' in an Australian short form comedy series that was on the Seven Network.[1]
She also works as a corporate trainer.[1]
Giblin has been married to Axel Bartz (a set designer) since around 1984. She was performing in a theatre production Bedroom Farce when it came to Adelaide and Axel was the resident designer of the Adelaide Theatre Company.[2] She has two children, Romy and Nicholas and lives in Leichhardt.[4] Her father-in-law was in the German music corps.[2]
