One of the most widely recognized identities in Australia, Maxine McKew’s career spans both politics and journalism. Maxine wrote herself into Australian political history when she won a spectacular victory against John Howard at the 2007 federal election by defeating a sitting Prime Minister in a seat that had only ever been held by the Liberal Party.

Before her entry into politics she was a multi award winning journalist and was recognized by her peers as one of the country’s most authoritative interviewers.
Maxine’s insights into the Australian social and political landscape make her a compelling speaker. She is also a sought-after facilitator and brings a cut-through direct approach to the most complex of discussions.

Maxine is a member of the Dean’s Advisory Council for Macquarie University’s School of Advanced Medicine and is an ambassador for Altzheimer’s Australia. Maxine now works for the not for profit group Social Ventures Australia.
