About Catriona Rowntree
Event organisers who book Catriona Rowntree MC secure the presenter known as “Australia’s Most Travelled Woman”, a title she earned after nearly 15 years at the helm of Australia’s favourite travel show, Getaway, on Channel Nine. Catriona has built an incredible television career spanning almost three decades, becoming one of the most recognisable and trusted faces on Australian screens, and someone audiences feel they already know before she even walks on stage.
Beyond Getaway, Catriona has hosted a wide range of programs including Wonder World, Funniest Home Videos, Logies Red Carpet Arrivals and The Chopping Block, giving her genuine versatility across travel, entertainment, red carpet glamour and light-hearted competition formats. That breadth of hosting experience means she’s equally comfortable interviewing celebrities, guiding a live broadcast or keeping a room full of guests entertained from the very first minute.
Alongside her on-screen work, Catriona has channelled her passion for community into a number of meaningful roles, serving as Patron of the Arnott’s Foundation and Ambassador for OCRF, Mission Australia and the Phillip Island Penguins. That genuine commitment to causes beyond the camera adds an extra layer of warmth and credibility to her presence on any stage, and often resonates with audiences at corporate and charity events alike.
Catriona is a highly sought-after MC and host for events of every kind, known as a consummate professional who is spontaneous, witty and always in control, no matter what the day throws at her. Her decades of live television experience mean she reads a room instantly and adapts on the fly, keeping any event feeling polished and effortless from welcome to farewell.
Organisations that book Catriona Rowntree MC can expect a warm, quick-witted host with genuine star power, making her a standout choice among Australia’s MCs for conferences, galas and milestone celebrations.
