Mackinnon began her acting career in 1988, appearing in the Australian feature film Something About Love. Two further features followed,

Attila, which also featured Gerard Butler, and in 2003, she starred in the Syfy television film Deep Shock
. Mackinnon also played roles in three direct-to-video films, Python, Dark Waters and Submission, for which she also served as producer.

From 1993 to 1995 she toured with the musical Cats (in the role of the cat "Cassandra") through Australia and Asia. In June 2009, Mackinnon appeared as a presenter alongside host Karl Stefanovic and Scott Cam in Random Acts of Kindness on the Nine Network. Mackinnon completed a second season of Random Acts of Kindness in January 2010.

On 4 March 2012, it was announced Mackinnon had joined the cast of

On 30 April 2024, it was announced that Mackinnon will join the reality television series The Summit, as a contestant for its second season, which is set to premiere on 12 May 2024 on Nine Network.

Mackinnon gave birth to her first child, a son, Madigan James Mackinnon, on 19 March 2010, her 37th birthday.[12]

Dogs have always been a part of her life.
