Kellie Anne Sloane (born 5 January 1973)[1] is an Australian politician who was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly in 2023 as the member for Vaucluse in Sydney. Before entering politics, she was a charity CEO and television journalist.
A member of the New South Wales Liberal Party, Sloane is a member of the Shadow Ministry of Mark Speakman; she currently serves as the Shadow Minister for Health.[3] Until July 2024, she was the Shadow Minister for the Environment.

Sloane joined the Nine Network in 1997 as a lifestyle series reporter for both A Current Affair and Money. She moved from A Current Affair in 2005, during a revamp of the programme to combat a ratings slump against rival Seven Network‘s Today Tonight.[5]
In April 2007, Sloane moved to co-hosting Today working with Karl Stefanovic replacing Jessica Rowe, who was on maternity leave at the time, however Rowe announced that she was leaving the Nine Network on 6 May 2007.[6]
On 10 May 2007, in one of the most memorable incidents on Today[according to whom?], Sloane collapsed live on air. The collapse occurred at 8:10 am during a cooking segment with celebrity chef Tobie Puttock, of Jamie Oliver fame. It was reported that she was okay after the incident and Sloane returned to the presenters desk about 15 minutes later, allegedly attributing the “dizzy spell” to her 3 am wake-up call.[7] Vision of Sloane collapsing in slow motion later went viral on social media with YouTube. The incident was parodied on an episode of ABC TV’s The Chaser’s War on Everything.[citation needed]
In October 2009, the Nine Network announced that Sloane would be shifted to the late night news programme Nightline, with Wendy Kingston moving to present Nine’s Morning News Hour. She was also a fill in presenter for Nine News in Sydney.[citation needed]
In July 2010, Nine announced Nightline would be axed immediately with reporters who were on duty retained, presenting late news updates in its place.[citation needed] Sloane left the Nine Network after 13 years at the Network.[8]

In November 2022, she was selected as the Liberal Party candidate for the electorate of Vaucluse at the 2023 New South Wales state election.[10] She was comfortably elected.[11] After election, she was appointed Shadow Minister for the Environment in the Shadow Ministry of Mark Speakman. Upon the resignation of Matt Kean in 2024, Sloane was appointed Shadow Minister for Health, where she currently serves.
Sloane is seen as a likely successor to New South Wales Liberal Party leader Mark Speakman, who resigned from leadership on November 20, 2025.[12] The Sydney Morning Herald reported that the two MPs met before his resignation, with Speakman supporting Sloane’s move to take over the party.[13]
