About our Guest Speaker
For all of her working life Liz Hayes has been a journalist. Her career has traversed the wide landscape of media including newspapers and radio but predominantly, television. For 10 years she was co-host of the Australian national breakfast programme, Today, and hosted special event telecasts including the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway.
Liz is now a senior correspondent with Nine’s 60 Minutes television programme, a position she’s held since 1996. It’s a job that has required reporting on some of the world’s most important stories in some of the toughest locations; from Afghanistan to Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, the Arctic Circle, and just about every country in between.
She has interviewed world leaders in business, sport, entertainment and politics, and covered a diverse range of stories including US presidential elections; the human horror of the Syrian refugee crisis; the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan; America’s nuclear conflict with North Korea and the aviation crisis involving Boeing’s then disastrous aircraft, the 737 Max.
Liz produced and presented an award-winning documentary 'The Greatest Gift', telling the story of heart transplant patients, as well as a two-and-a-half-hour television special on Sydney’s Lindt Café siege, in which eight of the hostages spoke exclusively of their terror the day they were held for 17 hours by a lone gunman.
Liz has spent over 40 years as a reporter and presenter for Nine Entertainment and in 2021 launched a new program Under Investigation with Liz Hayes where Liz is both the anchor and Managing Editor.
The program has become a critical part of Nine Entertainment’s current affairs DNA where Liz interviews the world’s most respected experts and thought leaders on crimes and mysteries that have captivated the nation.
The fifth season of Under Investigation is currently in production and in 2023 Liz was asked to MC the 68th Walkley Awards for excellence in journalism.
Liz remains a senior correspondent for 60 Minutes and in 2023 hosted a television special commemorating the life and comedic genius of the late Barry Humphries, Barry Humphries – A Life of Laughs.
