Q&A with Jodie Hollis

Jodie Hollis was presented with Casey's Woman of the Year Award.

What do you love most about your job?

Meeting new people; I love to hear their stories.

If you were an animal, what would you be?

Probably a turtle. They float through the ocean and live forever.

What was your most memorable moment?

Apart from having my beautiful daughters, it would have to be two moments. The Australia Day Holt Award and Casey Woman of the Year Award.

Happy, talkative, spontaneous, silly, fun.

What event, past or present, would you like to witness?

A concert at Wembley Stadium.

Which six dinner guests, dead or alive, would you invite to dinner?

My six would be my friend Danielle who passed away in 2012, my partner who passed away in Jan 2024, John Howard, Jeff Kennett, Princess Diana, and George Michael.

What three words would your friends use to describe you?

Over the top!

What would you do on your perfect ‘day off’?

Coffee and breakfast on the beach followed by a walk, and a day at the hot springs with massage and facials.

Where is your happy place?

The beach for certain.

If you had to compete on MasterChef, what dish would you cook?

The only dish I cook with absolute certainty is spaghetti bolognese.

Where is your dream holiday destination?

Driving around Australia.
