Born in Adelaide in January 1978, Brisley is the eldest of two daughters of property developer parents. When she was 18 months old, the family moved to the Gold Coast.

Garred played a hospital lab assistant named Bert who was charmed by Brisley's character, the show¿s resident vixen, Amanda Vale. WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR? Spending it with my family. We always do a traditional lunch and it's such a special day. BEST CHRISTMAS CHILDHOOD MEMORY? Playing in the pool with all of my cousins. I also remember the year I got a pony for Christmas. It was one of the most amazing days ever. My parents always go to a lot of effort for Christmas. BEST GIFT YOU¿VE EVER GIVEN SOMEONE? Last year my sister and I got all of Mum and Dad's old footage which spanned over 40 years and edited it all into a fantastic package with music, they cried when they saw it. WHY WAS IT SO SPECIAL? Because they hadn't seen most of the footage in years, and the way it was all put together was amazing. They'll be able to keep it and show it to people forever. WHAT DO YOU EAT FOR CHRISTMAS LUNCH/DINNER? Everything from seafood, turkey, to ham and the best vegetables and pudding in the world. NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION? To get really fit.
