Susie Elelman is truly the epitome of a multi-media broadcaster and has been deservedly described by TV icon Bert Newton as the most versatile, informed and professional person in Australian media today.
Her name is synonymous with daytime television, and she is currently voicing her opinions as a weekly panellist on Channel 9’s Today Extra with David Campbell and Sylvia Jeffreys.
Susie was Host and Executive Producer of her own national, daily, variety and lifestyle TV show SUSIE, and then co-hosted and co-produced the national live news and current affairs show DAILY with Susie and Bianca both on the WIN/9 Network.
She spent almost nine years alongside Bert Newton as a presenter and reporter on Good Morning Australia and seven years with Larry Emdur and Kylie Gillies on The Morning Show. Susie was a popular regular co-host on Studio 10 on the Ten Network and a regular commentator in the Chatroom on Channel 9’s News Now.
Her media career has seen her chat one-to-one with many international stars and she counts Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Whoopi Goldberg, Audrey Hepburn, Kylie Minogue and George Clooney among the A-list celebrities she has interviewed.
She is also a newspaper and magazine columnist, as well as an award-winning, best-selling author. After releasing her first book titled; Half My Size – The Thinking Person’s Diet, Susie was voted Australia’s Most Dynamic Author in 2006. Her sequel Still Half My Size released in 2018 and 2019 she released her third book 15 Minutes of Fame – The Dark Underbelly of Celebrity.
Susie brings her signature charm and effervescent enthusiasm to every event, and can be relied upon to deliver a powerful message with panache. She is the only woman ever to voice The Ode in RSL and Services Clubs Australia-wide.
For her services to charity, the not-for-profit sector and the Media, Susie was awarded an AM (Member of the Order of Australia Medal) in the Queen’s Birthday honours list in 2015.
Susie is very proud, as a 1st Generation Australian of refugee parents, to be chosen as an Australia Day Ambassador for the 25th year in a row.
