Goldsworthy was born in Adelaide as the eldest daughter of the writer Peter Goldsworthy and Helen Goldsworthy. She began studying the piano at the age of six. At the age of eleven she was accepted into the Elder Conservatorium, studying with the pedagogue Eleonora Sivan, to whom she attributes the fact that she is now a pianist. Goldsworthy completed her Bachelor of Music degree with honours at the Elder Conservatorium before acquiring a Master of Music degree at Texas Christian University, where she held the F. Howard and Mary D. Walsh Graduate Piano Scholarship and studied with Tamás Ungár. In 2004, she graduated from the University of Melbourne with a Doctor of Musical Arts degree under the supervision of Ronald Farren-Price, who has been an important mentor. Her thesis topic was "Fanny Hensel and Virtuosity". Additionally, Goldsworthy has studied in Moscow with Lev Naumov – a pupil of Heinrich Neuhaus, who had been a pupil of Leopold Godowsky – with the support of an Arts SA Emerging Artist Award, and in the Advanced Performance Program at the Australian National Academy of Music.
Musical career
Goldsworthy is an accomplished classical pianist. In 2009 she was a juror for Chamber Music Australia's Asia Pacific Chamber Music Competition.
Goldsworthy is a former artistic director of the Port Fairy Spring Music Festival. She was appointed in May 2009, succeeding in 2010 Stephen McIntyre who retired after the 2009 festival.

Her debut solo CD, Come With Us, was released by ABC Classics in January 2008. In March 2010 with her trio, Seraphim Trio, she recorded Schubert's Trout Quintet for ABC Classics. In July 2010 she recorded for ABC Classics the music that features in her book Piano Lessons. Her two-part radio documentary on the Mendelssohn siblings Fanny and Felix, Art is not for women: only for girls, was broadcast on ABC Classic FM in 2004.
Alongside Goldsworthy's solo performances, she has received acclaim as a chamber musician. She is a founding member of the Seraphim Trio, which has performed throughout Asia and Europe, and appears regularly in Australia for Musica Viva. The trio studied chamber music with Hatto Beyerle at the Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien Hannover, and was awarded the prize for the Leading Piano Trio in the 2001 National Chamber Music Competition. In 2007, the trio launched a national concert series.
