Carrie Bickmore

Carrie’s career may have started almost by accident — her first media gig was a newsreader on 92.9FM in Perth, when she began as an emergency fill-in for a sick colleague — but her enduring success is no coincidence. Her undeniable talent and sense of humour have see her go from ‘that funny chick’ on Rove to one of Australia’s most recognisable TV personalities on The Project. After sadly losing her late husband Greg to a brain tumour, she has campaigned relentlessly to help find a cure — raising over $5 million for her foundation, Carrie’s Beanies 4 Brain Cancer.
