Hi there! My name is Elfy and I’m an award-winning freelance journalist, presenter, and producer.

My debut book The One Thing We’ve Never Spoken About was published in early 2023 with Pantera Press and focuses on the silence and stigma that still surrounds complex mental health conditions in Australia.

My journalism and columns have appeared in The Saturday Paper, The Guardian, The Age, SBS News Crikey, The Feed, BuzzFeed News, RUSSH, ELLE and VICE.

As an on-camera presenter, I’ve worked on short-form documentaries for the ABC on topics including conspiracy theories and psychics.

In 2026, I produced and moderated an SBS The Feed debate on having children, which aired on SBS2.

I’ve also worked as a presenter with a number of high-profile brands and organisations including Bank Australia, Red Bull, Google, Snapchat, and Greenpeace.

In 2023 I also worked as executive editor at Mamamia, publishing long-form journalism, columns, and appearing on podcasts such as The Quicky, Mamamia Out Loud, Lady Startup Stories, and The Spill.

You may also know me from my time hosting and producing podcasts, including the SBS News podcast Party Time, the Spotify exclusive Australian politics show Left Right Out and The Green Canary, an environmental news podcast.

In 2021, I took home a B&T 30 Under 30 award in the producer and journalist category for my work with the daily online news show, The Junkee Takeaway.

As a host and MC, I’ve led major events such as the National Summit on Intergenerational Fairness, the Momentum Sustainable Finance conference and the Future Forte 2024 conference.

I’m also a frequent appearance at live events moderating (as well as featuring on) panels, interviewing public figures and participating in debates, as well as Triple j’s Hack program and ABC Radio Sydney.

I hold a Bachelor of Psychological Sciences from the University of New South Wales and a Master’s degree in Advanced Journalism from the University of Technology, Sydney.

I’m always looking to freelance and collaborate with new teams. If you’re in need of a writer, producer, host, or journalist, please feel free to send an inquiry through my contact page or send me a message on Instagram.

For any other projects, please reach out to my agent, Cathy Baker at CMC Talent.
