Tara Brown - Beyond the Story Luncheon
Description
Beyond the Story: An Exclusive Luncheon with Tara Brown
Join Operation Flinders Foundation for a luncheon with one of Australia’s most respected journalists, Tara Brown, in conversation beyond the headlines.
Tara joined 60 Minutes in January 2001 and has since built an extraordinary career reporting from across the globe - from war zones in Afghanistan and Northern Syria, to the Canadian tundra, the secret chambers of the Great Pyramid of Giza, and the vast rare earth reserves of Greenland. She has interviewed world leaders, royalty, and global icons including Brad Pitt, Rebel Wilson, Jude Law, Mel Gibson, AC/DC, The Police, Mötley Crüe and Def Leppard - alongside everyday people with extraordinary stories to tell.
Tara has covered some of the defining moments and investigations of the 21st century. She was one of the first Australian journalists at Ground Zero following September 11. Her major investigations include the Church of Scientology, the Jeffrey Epstein saga, the Theranos collapse, Baby Gammy, and the mass methanol poisoning in Laos.
Her confronting interview with cancer con artist Belle Gibson, and her investigation into Peter Scully - which earned a Walkley Award in 2015 - remain among her most powerful work. A second Walkley followed in 2017 for her investigation into the death of Matthew Leveson. Tara’s crime reporting has also been recognised with three Kennedy Awards (2018, 2021 and 2023), and she has been twice nominated for a Logie, most recently in 2025 for the inaugural Ray Martin Award.
This exclusive luncheon offers rare insight into the stories that shaped Tara’s career - and the realities of reporting from the front lines of global news.
