Heather Ewart has been awarded the 2025 MPC Lifetime Achievement Award. She was recognised as an award winning, and beloved, journalist and presenter whose outstanding ABC career featured senior roles as a foreign correspondent and chief political correspondent before celebrating country Australia in a unique TV series.
Each year, the Melbourne Press Club honours a journalist or journalists whose career has left an extraordinary mark on Victorian and/or Australian journalism. The honour, presented at the annual Quill Awards dinner each March, is bestowed at the discretion of the MPC board.
