Kylie Matthews

I was a member of CHOICE long before I began contributing as a freelance journalist in 2018. I'm passionate about consumer rights and advocacy, and regularly interview some of Australia's most renowned experts and authorities on health and nutrition, sustainability and recycling, home renovations, appliances and more. I also review and compare products and offer tips and tricks on how to get the best value for money. I have an arts degree from The University of Melbourne and a graduate diploma in editing and publishing from RMIT and have been a journalist for 15 years, in newsrooms of daily newspapers, offices of national magazines and as a freelancer for online publications and corporate clients. I have also worked in book publishing in Australia, New Zealand and the UK.
