Veteran Australian journalist and mental-health advocate — on broadcasting, motherhood and the conversations we don't have at work.
Jessica Rowe is one of the most recognised Australian broadcasters of the past two decades — long-time television news anchor, breakfast television host, podcaster and the author of several books on mental health, motherhood and the realities of public life. The honesty she's brought to her own experience of postnatal depression has made her one of the most credible voices in the country on mental health for women.
Her speaking is warm, well-paced and refreshingly free of media polish. She talks frankly about the chapters of her career that didn't go the way she wanted, the long work of recovery, and the small organisational practices that genuinely shift how supported people feel at work.
For event organisers, Jessica is a strong fit for women's events, wellbeing programs, leadership initiatives and in-house programs where the brief is a credible, authentic voice on mental health and work-life reality.

Jessica was superstar - ew gave her quite a challenging MC brief that she was able to take on, distil, simplify and execute to perfection. She instantly charmed and engaged our audience and brought the best out of our people who shared the stage with her. She was very generous with her time, meeting and greeting the audience after the formalities concluded. I would highly recommend Jessica to any organisation.Albury Wodonga Health
