BIOGRAPHY

Julie McCrossin talks to people for a living. After 20 years as a broadcaster with ABC Radio National, ABC TV and Network Ten, she is now a freelance journalist and facilitator. She presented the radio show Life Matters on ABC Radio National for 5 years, covering countless health, welfare and educational topics with a frequent rural focus.

Julie was also a team leader on the media quiz show “Good News Week” for 5 years on Network Ten and ABC TV. Julie began working for the ABC in 1983 and she’s presented many Radio National programs, as well as stints on ABC Rural Radio and 702ABC Sydney.

Julie has also worked as a TV reporter for both the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras and ANZAC DAY – and she’s thrilled to live in a country where it is possible to do both. But her proudest media moment was her appearance on ABC TV’s “Play School” as a silent clown called Plain Jane.

Currently Julie presents a travel program for Qantas and facilitates conferences and seminars nationally. Julie has university qualifications in the arts, education and law and she is an Ambassador for NAPCAN (The National Association for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect), the Fred Hollows Foundation and FRANS Inc (Making Things Happen for People with Disabilities). www.juliemccrossin.com
