She later completed a Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics at Victoria University of Wellington and a Certificate of Journalism.
Barry began her career as a reporter for radio 89.3 TODAY FM (now More FM Wairarapa), before moving to RNZ in the Masterton office Barry describes her time at RNZ: "I was in sole charge of a thriving newsroom that was inundated with stories of serial killers, sexual deviants and the local shearing competition, called the Golden Shears."
She read the morning news on radio station More FM and participated in the morning shows from 1993-2003.
Barry became a TV3 news reporter in Christchurch in 1993 then moved to Auckland to work as a reporter on 3 News.
In 2002, 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2016 Barry won the NZ Radio Award for Best Newsreader.
She presented 3 News on weekends for six years, before becoming the weeknight 3 News co-anchor alongside Mike McRoberts in 2005.
Barry's move into co-hosting 3 News was precipitated by the former regular anchors John Campbell and Carol Hirschfeld moved on to respectively present and produce the 7 pm current affairs show, Campbell Live.
At the 2006 Qantas Television Awards she was voted Favourite New Zealand Female Personality.
On 9 February 2009, Barry became news anchor on the RadioLIVE breakfast show hosted by Marcus Lush, and was on RadioLive until 2016.
Barry won the Best News or Current Affair Presenter award at the 2011 Aotearoa Film and Television Awards and at the 2019 NZTV Awards.
In 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 Barry won TV Guide's Best on The Box award for Best Presenter.
In 2015, Barry joined the Paul Henry show as the news anchor, alongside her role as co-anchor of 3 News (then rebranded as Newshub).
She was a newsreader on TV3 for many years and until 2016, presented the 6 pm Newshub show with Mike McRoberts.
She also worked on the Paul Henry morning TV show since its launch, reading the news.
Barry resigned from these roles in April 2016.
On 4 February 2016, Barry laughed uncontrollably during The Paul Henry Show when reading a news item about a former Malaysian diplomat who admitted going to a young woman's home with no pants on and defecating on her step before leaving.
The reporter in that story had used the phrase "emergency defecation situation" when reporting the former diplomat's excuse in court and it was this phrase that caused Barry to laugh uncontrollably.
The incident received widespread coverage and a video uploaded by Henry received about 270,000 views on YouTube in two days.
Hilary Barry unexpectedly resigned from MediaWorks (thus Newshub and Paul Henry) on 26 April 2016.
Barry had been with the company for 23 years, working across several brands.

When MediaWorks chief executive Mark Weldon resigned five days later, Barry and co-host Mike McRoberts were seen bringing champagne and beer into the Mediaworks office to celebrate.
When entering the building, Barry gave a "v for victory" sign with one of her hands, but declined to comment further.
It was later revealed that McRoberts (Barry's long term 3 News/Newshub co-host) was trying to convince Barry to stay with the company.
