Tart attended the McDonald College[2] before he was accepted into National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) in 1994, graduating in 1997 with a bachelor's degree in Performing Arts. He is a descendant of prominent Chinese Australian Mei Quong Tart, who ran a popular tea house in the Queen Victoria Building in Sydney, and was also an early Chinese ambassador to Australia. He is the youngest of four boys in his family.
Tart's list of television credits includes the role of Will Monk on headLand, a drama series airing on the Seven Network and Matt Horner on the Australian award winning series All Saints. Josh was also an original co-host on the kids TV show Sarvo with Jamie Croft on Foxtel's Nickelodeon.
In 2006 he left headLand due to the show being axed by the Seven Network. Quong Tart featured alongside actress Genevieve Lemon and brother Byron Tart in the aptly named stage show/cabaret Lemon Tart in 2006 and 2007. He currently has a full-time role as Miles Copeland on Home and Away.
