She is the presenter of the ABC Radio podcast Ladies, We Need to Talk about female health and sexuality.

Between 2000 and 2012, she presented the morning television show The Circle and was also a television presenter on Channel V Australia and Max.

Stynes's television career began in 2000 as a presenter for Channel V Australia.

2007

In 2007, she moved across to MAX where she presented The Know.

2010

From 2010 until 2012, Stynes hosted Network Ten's morning show, The Circle.

2012

She remained co-host until August 2012 and was replaced by Jane Hall.

On the 28 February 2012 episode of The Circle, along with George Negus, Stynes made comments about a photo of former soldier Ben Roberts-Smith coming out of a swimming pool, saying, "He's going to dive down to the bottom of the pool to see if his brain is there", while Negus replied in part, "what if [he's] not up to it in the sack?"

After tabloid criticism, they personally contacted Roberts-Smith who accepted their apology and agreed there was no malicious intent.

Negus said his comments were taken out of context and he was not referring personally to Roberts-Smith.

2013

During 2013 she was a presenter on Sydney's Mix 106.5 FM radio breakfast program.

A portrait of Stynes by Yoshio Honjo was a finalist for the 2022 Archibald Prize.

Stynes was born and grew up in Swan Hill, Victoria, Australia.

Her mother is Japanese and her father was fifth generation Australian.

She spent her teenage years in Melbourne attending Methodist Ladies College in Kew, Victoria before moving to Sydney to work for Channel V Australia.

In January 2013, Stynes hosted Mix 106.5's breakfast program with Sami Lukis the first all-female team on FM commercial radio in Sydney.

2014

On 13 September 2014, Fairfax newspapers issued an apology to Stynes and Negus, stating "Our interpretation was wrong and we accept that both Mr Negus and Ms Stynes were not referring to Cpl Roberts-Smith personally."

News Limited publications, The Daily Telegraph, Herald Sun and news.com.au also retracted the incorrect allegations.

2017

In January 2017, Stynes joined the KIIS Network to host 3PM Pick-Up with Katie 'Monty' Dimond and Rebecca Judd.

She remained co-host until December 2022, when the show was cancelled.

2018

In 2018 Stynes hosted a documentary on SBS called Is Australia Sexist?

2019

On 28 January 2019, Yumi Stynes appeared as a guest panelist on Studio 10 where discussion included Invasion Day.

During this Kerri-Anne Kennerley asked

"Has any single one of those 5,000 people waving the flags saying how inappropriate the day is, has any one of them been out to the outback where children, where babies and five-year-olds are being raped, their mothers are being raped, their sisters are being raped,"

to which Stynes responded "That is not even faintly true, Kerri-Anne, and you’re sounding quite racist now."

Later, while speaking on-air with 2GB's Ben Fordham, Kennerley said Stynes "probably misunderstood" her comments.

The following day Stynes called in "sick" for a booked appearance on Studio 10, stating on Instagram that it was not related to what happened the day before although she later clarified that "the reason I didn't go on the show is because it's not for me to argue Indigenous rights."

She also claimed that she "would have been walking into a trap" if she appeared again on Studio 10 the next day.

Stynes instead participated in a radio interview on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, saying "Kennerley has been around forever, she’s like a cockroach, she can’t be extinguished".

During that radio interview, the hosts conducted a phone interview with Kennerley to discuss the previous day's argument, before which Stynes described her as "lecturing me about racism".

The ACMA, in its review of the incident noted that "the emphatic and sweeping suggestion by Ms Kennerley of endemic sexual abuse in Indigenous communities could be capable of provoking strong negative feelings in a reasonable person".

Stynes is a writer and host of ABC Radio podcast on female health and sexuality, "Ladies, We Need to Talk".

Stynes's 2023 book Welcome to Sex, co-authored with Dr Melissa Kang, was pulled from sale in Big W stores after criticism from conservatives and "abuse" from customers.

Stynes stated, "It does make me think that they're taking a leaf out of the book of Trumpism and fearmongering there", stating that some of the content of the book was taken from "genuine questions asked by adolescents to Dolly Doctor for more than 20 years".

The book was shortlisted for the 2024 Young Adult Indie Book Award.
