Kate Allman Travels from Sydney, NSW

Her unique combination of skills and experience stems from more than a decade working in the media across multiple platforms and spheres. After graduating with honours from the University of NSW with a double degree in media (majoring in journalism) and law, she began her career as a legal and court reporter. She interviewed Prime Ministers, Premiers, CEOs, and celebrities, and served as Associate Editor of the award-winning LSJ magazine. During this time, she hosted conferences nationally and internationally, conducted C-suite interviews, and became a trusted voice in legal reporting, investigations, analysis, and feature writing.

Her passion for sport, combined with her background as a high school and college athlete, naturally steered her into the world of sports broadcasting and reporting. Today, alongside TV commentary and broadcast hosting, she is a recognised authority in sport, contributing to publications including The Daily Telegraph, Herald Sun, The Australian, The Guardian Australia, Forbes Australia, Women’s Golf Magazine, Tracks Magazine, Snowsbest.com, Mountainwatch, Chillfactor, and ABC Sport.

She is also a board member of the Kennedy Foundation for Journalism and co-founder of Australia’s Equal Pay for Equal Play campaign. In 2022, she was nominated for the Walkley Foundation’s June Andrews Award for Women’s Leadership in Media for her work advancing women athletes and women in sport. She has been a finalist for Young Journalist of the Year and Journalist of the Year at the Mumbrella Publish Awards across six years and was named Young Journalist of the Year by the NSW Council for Civil Liberties in 2021.

She trained in Advanced TV and Radio presenting at the Australian Television, Film and Radio School (AFTRS) in Sydney. Her combination of broadcast-level presentation skills, strong organisation, approachability, and experience interviewing a diverse range of personalities has made her a sought-after host for live events, panel discussions, and awards nights.
