Since 2002, Georgie has been a constant presence in the living rooms of millions of Australians turning into Nine across the day.
After starting at 9News presenting 6pm weekday weather with Brian Henderson and reading the Morning news, Georgie joined the Today Show in 2007 as newsreader and fill-in host – a role she held until 2014.
In 2018 she rejoined the Today Show as host for two years. For the better part of 17 years, Georgie has anchored 9News Sydney’s 6pm weekend bulletin.
Executive Director, News & Current Affairs, Fiona Dear said:
“Georgie’s versatility as a presenter has seen her hold almost every on-air news role at Nine.”
“It’s a remarkable achievement and during that time Georgie has been loved and respected by audiences across Australia.”
“She has had a front row seat to some of the most important moments in history, delivering the biggest news stories to audiences first thing in the morning, in prime time at 6pm and late into the evening with Nightline.”
“Georgie’s professionalism and composure during breaking news events makes her one of the most talented newsreaders in the country.”
“Georgie’s decision to step away from television news has our full support and we thank her and wish her well in her future endeavours.”
Georgie Gardner said:
“I could not be more grateful for the range of opportunities Nine has afforded me over nearly a quarter of a century.”
“Anchoring news bulletins across the day, as well as reporting and hosting roles on virtually every news program at the Network has been incredibly satisfying and an enormous privilege.
“I will be forever thankful for having worked with countless colleagues, who are quite simply the best in the industry and I am humbled by the knowledge that there are viewers who have followed my career.”
Georgie will read her final bulletin on Friday 17 April 2026 and her replacement will be announced in due course.
