Many Australians will know Madeleine as the former Finance Presenter and Newsreader on ABC's News Breakfast, where she helped audiences navigate major economic and financial developments during a period of significant change. Prior to this, she held senior reporting roles across the ABC and spent more than a decade with the BBC, reporting from over 20 countries around the world.

Madeleine's career has taken her from international summits and political centres of power to communities tackling complex social and economic challenges.

As IMPACT 2026 explores the future of performance audit, artificial intelligence, governance and public sector accountability, Madeleine's expertise in asking the right questions and drawing out diverse perspectives will ensure engaging and insightful conversations throughout the conference.
