About Liz Hayes
Liz Hayes is best known as the former co-host of Channel Nine’s Today Show and now as a reporter on its flagship current affairs program 60 Minutes.
In the town of Taree, midway up the north coast of NSW, they know Liz Hayes as the daughter of a local dairy farmer. Liz began her career on the town's local paper, The Manning River Times, as one of five journalists. She finished as assistant editor but the Big Smoke beckoned.
Liz Hayes' first job in Sydney was with New Idea and TV Week. But she had set her sights on television. For two years she worked as an on-the-road reporter for Channel Ten's Eyewitness News in Sydney.
But over at Channel Nine, her talent and potential had been noted and Liz was asked to join the Network as a reporter on National Nine News then as presenter of the 11.30 Morning News.
In 1986 Liz produced and presented a memorable documentary called The Great Gift, the story of heart transplant patients and the work of brilliant heart surgeon, Dr Victor Chang. For that documentary she was awarded a Logie and, soon after, the job as co-host of the national Today program.
When Tracey Curro left 60 Minutes in 1996, Liz Hayes was the only choice to replace her. The years of reporting, interviewing and presenting had turned her into the consummate professional.
