By 2005, Rebecca was appointed as the presenter of Seven Afternoon News, replacing David Johnston until the broadcast was moved to Sydney. She also served as a presenter for The Morning News and Sunrise and often filled in for Melbourne's weekend news bulletins. In 2011, she was named the number one female ticket holder for the Geelong Football Club, a nod to her loyal support and public profile in the region.
When Seven Afternoon News returned to Melbourne production in 2013, she resumed her role as presenter, replacing Samantha Armytage. However, her tenure was short-lived when Matt White and Melissa Doyle replaced her in August 2013. Despite shifts in roles, she remained a well-recognized figure at the Seven Network for many years.
With her clear delivery, on-screen confidence, and journalistic integrity, Rebecca became one of the most recognized and respected television figures in Australia. Her approachable demeanor and deep understanding of current affairs helped her earn a strong following among viewers nationwide.
She earned further acclaim co-hosting the Melbourne Cup Carnival Myer Fashion events alongside Carson Kressley, showcasing her versatility beyond hard news.
Outside her media career, Rebecca is actively involved in philanthropy. She has supported several charitable organizations, including Very Special Kids, reflecting her commitment to community welfare.
In her personal life, she married real estate professional James Wilson in 2006. However, the marriage ended in divorce. Despite personal challenges, Rebecca has continued to focus on her career and community engagements, maintaining a positive public presence over the years.
