Georgie Gardner, born on 1st June 1970, is an accomplished Australian journalist and television presenter. She spent her early years in Perth, Western Australia, attending Dalkeith Primary School followed by St Hilda’s Anglican School for Girls. From a young age, she demonstrated a keen intellect and enthusiasm for learning. Her academic and extracurricular strengths laid a strong foundation for her future in the media industry.
At age five, Gardner’s childhood took a turn when her parents divorced. She was one of four children and, following the separation, her mother remarried a lawyer who became Georgie’s stepfather. Despite the emotional impact of the divorce, Gardner and her siblings were provided a stable upbringing. She credits her close friendships for offering emotional support during those formative years.
Gardner spent part of her high school years in Milan, Italy, where she became fluent in Italian, adding to her proficiency in English. In 1990, she returned to Australia to pursue an associate diploma in arts, specializing in Media Performance, setting the stage for her future in journalism.
Georgie Gardner is married to Tim Baker, a writer and former professional surfer. The couple share two children—Bronte, born in 2005, and Angus, born in 2007. The family resides in Sydney, where Gardner balances her professional and personal life. She is also a practicing Protestant, maintaining her faith as part of her personal identity and values.
Gardner began her broadcasting career in 1992 at Radio 2NX in Newcastle and later worked at 2Day FM and Triple M in Sydney. Early in her career, she was recognized as the best new journalist in the Metropolitan Broadcast Awards. These formative years gave her critical experience in delivering live news and managing dynamic newsroom environments.
In 1997, Gardner moved into television, joining Network Ten where she gained considerable experience as a reporter and presenter. Her television career ascended rapidly, and in 2002 she joined the Nine Network—a pivotal move that brought her national recognition. At Nine, she held various roles, including presenting Nine News Sydney, the weekend edition of Nine News, and Nine News First at Five.
Gardner became a regular face on the news program Today, serving as the weekday news presenter. She was also a frequent fill-in host across several of Nine’s news programs, earning widespread respect for both her professionalism and journalistic integrity. Known for her poised on-air presence and strong communication skills, Gardner is considered one of Australia's most respected television journalists.
