Niki Savva is an Australian journalist, author, and former senior political adviser, widely recognized for her contributions to political journalism and commentary. She was born in the village of Choli in Cyprus. Her father, Andreas Savva, immigrated to Melbourne, Australia, in 1951 with the aim of establishing a stable life before bringing over his family. After several years, Niki, her mother Elpiniki, and her brother Steven reunited with Andreas in Australia.
Savva’s journalism career is marked by key roles at prominent Australian newspapers. She began as a political correspondent with The Australian before becoming the national political editor at Melbourne’s Herald Sun. She later served as the Canberra bureau chief for The Age. Her experience across these major publications helped establish her as a leading voice in Australian political reporting.
In 2010, Savva returned to The Australian, where she began writing political opinion columns that offered critical insight into national affairs. Her columns have been widely regarded for their insider perspective and analytical depth.
In addition to her journalism, Niki Savva held senior advisory positions within the Australian government. She worked as media adviser and press secretary to Treasurer Peter Costello for six years and also served on Prime Minister John Howard’s staff for four years. These roles gave her a unique understanding of the political environment, which later informed her writing and commentary.
Niki Savva is married to Vince Woolcock, a long-time Liberal political staffer. Their shared background in politics has strengthened their personal and professional understanding. Though she is known for her strong views, Savva maintains a reputation for balanced and informed commentary, derived from decades of experience both in journalism and inside the corridors of power.
In addition to her journalistic work, Savva is a published author. Her books include political memoirs and analyses that reflect on the inner workings of Australian politics, offering readers an in-depth view of key political figures and national events. Her notable works include The Road to Ruin and Plots and Prayers, which provide behind-the-scenes accounts of federal political leadership challenges.
