Amelia Brace is an award-winning Australian journalist, international correspondent, and highly accomplished event MC, celebrated for her frontline reporting, global experience, and ability to lead conversations in high-pressure environments.

Across a two-decade career in journalism, Amelia has worked as both a foreign correspondent and political correspondent, and now hosts a prime-time nightly news program. Her work has taken her around the world covering major global events, political developments, and breaking international news stories.

Amelia received the prestigious Walkley Award in 2020 — Australian journalism’s highest honour — for her fearless coverage of the U.S. protests. During this time, she made global headlines when she was violently assaulted by police while broadcasting live outside the White House, sustaining significant injuries including being struck with a baton, hit at close range with rubber bullets, and exposed to chemical irritants. Despite this, Amelia continued her live reporting without interruption — a moment that cemented her reputation for courage, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to journalism.

In the weeks that followed, Amelia was called to testify before the United States Congress, where she spoke for more than three hours in a nationally broadcast hearing, defending press freedom and the critical role of journalists in society.

Her expertise spans global affairs, politics, and media, supported by academic qualifications in journalism and political science. Alongside hard news, Amelia has also worked in entertainment reporting in the United States, covering major international events including the Oscars, Emmys, Golden Globes, and Grammys, and interviewing some of the world’s biggest stars such as Nicole Kidman, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Matt Damon, and Charlize Theron.

Beyond journalism, Amelia is a highly sought-after MC and moderator, known for her polished delivery, confidence on stage, and ability to manage complex, high-profile events. She has hosted and facilitated major events including the G’Day USA Gala, ASIC Forum, televised leaders’ debates, and numerous corporate and charity events.

As a keynote speaker and event host, Amelia brings authority, intelligence, and composure — delivering engaging, seamless experiences while connecting meaningfully with audiences.
