Bickmore began her career as a newsreader on Perth’s 92.9FM as a last-minute replacement for a sick coworker. Brian Bickmore, her father, was a radio announcer at the time and eventually held executive positions within the Austereo network.

Bickmore started reading the afternoon news for Melbourne radio station Nova 100 in 2001, and she and Andy Ross joined the show as co-hosts in 2002.

Bickmore competed in the Australian Commercial Radio Awards’ Best News Presenter category in 2005. On behalf of Nova 100, Bickmore, Rebecca Leahy, and Michael Colling accepted the prize for Best Community Service Project – Metro.

Bickmore and Charlie Pickering appeared on the three-week-long, nationally broadcast radio program The Breakfast Project in October 2012. The show won over both reviewers and viewers, and it gave rise to suspicions that Bickmore and Pickering would start appearing regularly on Nova 100 Melbourne.

Bickmore debuted on television in 2006 on the variety program Rove Live, where she hosted the “Carrie @ the News Desk” part for every episode. Since joining The Project in 2009, which airs weeknights on Network Ten, Bickmore has raised her status as a television host.

In 2011, Bickmore took a break from The 7 PM Project for a while before returning after her husband’s passing. In 2012 and 2013, Bickmore received a nomination for the Gold Logie Award for Most Popular TV Personality.

Bickmore and former American Idol judge Paula Abdul would co-host a new season of So You Think You Can Dance Australia for Network Ten, it was revealed in 2013.

Bickmore earned the Gold Logie award in 2015. She wore a beanie during her acceptance speech to draw attention to her late husband’s battle with brain cancer and to support the cause; she also urged her colleagues to do the same; she cited her husband’s use of beanies to hide his wounds as the inspiration for the gesture.

She then started Carrie’s Beanies 4 Brain Cancer in November 2015 with the intention of generating $4,200,000 initially for brain cancer research. Two months later, in January 2016, this goal was met.

Carrie’s Beanies 4 Brain Cancer is said to have raised more than $18 million as of September 2022. In October 2022, Bickmore declared that she will leave The Project the following month in order to spend more time with her family.

Her final performance was on November 30, 2022. After her former coworkers Charlie Pickering, who resigned in March 2014 to co-host The Weekly with Dave Hughes, and Dave Hughes, who left in December 2013 to focus on his stand-up comedy and radio, she was the panelist with the longest tenure.
