Alum | Dimity Clancey
A Walkley Award-winning investigative reporter
Graduate of The McDonald College, Dimity Clancey is a Walkley Award-winning investigative reporter for the Nine Network.
After cutting her teeth in the NSW Central West, Dimity moved to Nine’s Sydney newsroom in 2010.
Thrown into the crime round, she rapidly won respect for her ability to break and chase stories, confront criminals, and empower the vulnerable.
From the epic pursuit of Malcolm Naden to natural disasters, Dimity has been on the Nine Network’s front line for major news coverage both in Australia and around the world.
“The College taught me that creativity is but the cornerstone upon which we build our dreams with sweat and determination. Attitude is everything.”
In 2016, she moved to A Current Affair, where her exclusive story on the heart-chilling confession of Malcolm Naden earned her a prestigious Walkley Award.
Clancey backed that up the following year, nominated for a second Walkley following her investigation into the misconduct of disgraced obstetrician Dr Emil Gayed.
In 2020, Clancey was awarded the Kennedy for Outstanding Nightly Current Affairs Reporting for her investigation into prescription drug abuse.
Dimity’s work at A Current Affair has solved a long-running police investigation, prompted the sacking of a schoolteacher who verbally abused her disabled students, generated law reform to better protect problem gamblers and has held countless people in power accountable to right the wrongs in our society.
Dimity prides herself on the voice she gives to the disempowered and downtrodden.
