After graduating from the University of Western Sydney, she featured in a number of Australian television shows.

Strahovski was born in Campbelltown, a suburb of Sydney, as Yvonne Strzechowski to Peter and Bozena Strzechowski. Her parents had emigrated from Warsaw, Poland. She adopted the more phonetic spelling of Strahovski as her stage name at Chuck, which was at producer Josh Schwartz's behest for the sake of easier pronunciation. Strahovski's father is an electronic engineer, and her mother works as a lab technician. Strahovski started acting when she played Viola in a school production of Twelfth Night.
She spent her high school years attending Santa Sabina College, Strathfield. She graduated from University of Western Sydney's Theatre Nepean in 2003.

Havin' fun in my grey motel tonight
Gotta lot to say, and I wanna know if it's right
'Cause when the system shuts down
There will be nothing left to do but fight
But I gotta plan
To take a stand
And do it all over again
Just the system of education
Proud crowd owns the fate of the nation
I can't live up to their expectations
I'm on a permanent vacation
I see my shadow shinin' in the blue patrol car light
It seems like every time I gotta go out, I gotta get in a fight
Rolled up in the gutter and the blood red fills my eyes
