Sam Mac

Sam is well-known to most Australians as the face of the weather; he presents the forecast every weekday on Seven’s Sunrise. His large social media following in tandem with his nomination for The Gold Logie in 2019 are a testament to his great influence on the Australian public.

Sam also works on Seven’s First Dates, lending his voice to the narration of the show, and other programs such as Fall out Zone, The Thursday Night Sports Show, The Project and Wake Up. For three years Sam was in Perth on Austereo’s Em & Sam Mac Show. He moved to Sydney in 2013 and is a guest regularly on Triple M and Nova.

Sam is an ambassador for both RUOK and Beyond Blue, and is a fervent advocate for men’s mental health. Sam’s passion saw him put his body on the line with a strip routine on The Real Full Monty, a bold move he made to raise awareness for men’s mental health. The show received an overwhelming response, and so did Sam; he received thousands of messages from complete strangers thanking him for his courage and compassion.

He recently revealed that he frequently receives messages from people in mental health crises, to which he responds with compassion and guidance towards getting professional help. Sam finds himself in an important position on Sunrise where many people rely on him to lift their spirits in the morning – a position that he doesn’t take for granted, nor does he underestimate the weight of.
