Amelia Brace

Amelia Brace is an award-winning Australian journalist whose two-decade career has spanned foreign correspondence, political reporting, and prime-time news presenting. Known for her fearless frontline reporting and sharp analysis, Amelia has built a reputation for delivering journalism that is both authoritative and deeply human, covering some of the world’s most consequential events with clarity, courage, and integrity. 

After 17 years with Seven Network, Amelia has embarked on an exciting new chapter, joining Network 10 as the face of 10 NEWS+, alongside Denham Hitchcock. This hard-hitting new nightly news and current affairs program launches as the network's bold new replacement for the long-running show, The Project.

Amelia gained global recognition for her fearless coverage of the 2020 protests in Washington D.C., where she was violently assaulted by police while broadcasting live outside the White House. Despite sustaining injuries after being struck with a baton and hit by rubber bullets and gasses with a chemical irritant, she continued reporting without interruption – an extraordinary demonstration of professionalism under pressure. Amelia’s bravery and unwavering commitment to her craft earned her the 2020 Walkley Award, Australian journalism’s highest honour. Just weeks later, she once again made headlines for becoming one of few Australians called to testify before the United States Congress, where she spoke about press freedom and the vital role of journalists in safeguarding democracy for three and a half hours.

With academic qualifications in journalism and political science, Amelia brings a comprehensive understanding of international affairs, politics, and history to her work.  During her time in the US, she also gained extensive experience in entertainment reporting, covering red carpets at the Oscars, Emmys, Golden Globes, Grammys, Vanity Fair and Elton John’s after-party. She was also responsible for film promotions, reviews and cast interviews for the popular breakfast program Sunrise, speaking with some of the world’s biggest stars, including Nicole Kidman, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Matt Damon, and many more – adding a cultural lens to her already broad reporting portfolio. 

A seasoned host and moderator, Amelia has hosted and moderated major events including G'Day USA, the annual ASIC Forum, televised leaders’ debates, charity galas, and national awards and presentation nights. Her speaking style blends insightful storytelling, warmth, and wit, making her equally adept at handling light-hearted moments and serious, complex conversations.

Whether reporting from the field, anchoring major broadcasts, or hosting events, Amelia brings credibility, composure, and insight. She offers audiences a compelling perspective on the intersection of media, leadership, and the responsibilities that come with telling the world’s most important stories.
