Tony McNamara was born in 1967 in Kilmore, Victoria, Australia, and was educated at Assumption College, Kilmore. Following careers in catering and finance, McNamara settled on a career as a writer following a visit to Rome. He studied writing at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and screenwriting at the Australian Film, Television and Radio School.

After writing various television episodes and stage plays, McNamara made his film debut in 2003, directing The Rage in Placid Lake, adapted from his stage play The Café Latte Kid.
