For more than three decades, Georgie Gardner has been part of the fabric of Australian broadcasting. She is one of the most recognised and trusted faces in the country.
Georgie presented Nine News for close to twenty-five years, on bulletins across the day, and she remains the only Australian to have done the late bulletins on the three networks. She was also a popular member of the Today Show for nine years, as the news reader and co-host. She's reported on everything from natural disasters, elections and terror attacks, to royal weddings and Olympic Games. Her ability to transition across a broad range of issues and events is a testament to her broadcasting capabilities and years of experience.
What has cemented her connection with audiences is her integrity and authenticity. When required, she used her Today Show platform to put a spotlight on issues requiring more focus and a broader understanding.
Off screen, Georgie is committed to long-term advocacy. She has been an Ambassador for Redkite for more than twenty years, including five years as a Board Director, supporting children with cancer and their families through treatment and beyond. She is also an Ambassador for the School for Life Foundation, which delivers education to children in Uganda, and for RAISE, a youth mentorship program. Since stepping away from the daily news cycle in April 2026, she has sharpened her focus on causes close to her heart, including women's health, equity, leadership and youth mentorship.
