Sandra Sully, presenter and senior editor of Network Ten’s late news, is one of the most recognisable faces on Australian TV. She is a professional journalist with the expertise to read and tell the story with sincerity, humour and an objective point of view.
She is in her 12th year as the national anchor for Network Ten's Late News with Sports Tonight. As well as presenting, she is also the show's Senior Editor and plays an integral role in producing and compiling the bulletin.
Her extensive journalistic career has many highlights, but perhaps none is more significant than the September 11 terror attacks in New York. Sandra was the first person to tell Australia about the tragic events unfolding before her eyes while delivering a professional news bulletin on the world's worst terrorist attack. Her poise was remarkable on such an horrific occasion.
Sandra’s versatility has enabled her to cover numerous events for the network including becoming the first woman to co-host Australia’s national iconic sporting event, The Melbourne Cup and was part of the coverage for seven years.
She also hosted the prestigious Australian of the Year Awards with the Prime Minister for five years in the National Capital and, prior to that, the Young Australian of the Year Awards. Coupled with this, Sandra co-hosted Good Morning Australia in 1992 and was co-anchor for the FIRST AT FIVE news hour in 1993.
Sandra began her career with TEN in Canberra working at the parliamentary bureau. Her passion for politics led her to host Ten’s 1996 Federal Election coverage.
In her spare time, Sandra is heavily involved in a number of charitable organisations. She currently serves on the Women's Advisory Board for the National Breast Cancer Centre; a position she has held for five years. She is co-patron of Spinal Cure and is a member of the prestigious Carbine Club; a sporting and business organisation that raises money for Kids Sport. She is also an Ambassador for the Paint a Rainbow Foundation and supports Australian Surf Life-saving.
She is a keen sports fan and is a yearly competitor in the famous Sun Herald City to Surf Fun Run – an event in which the Audi team also compete each year.
