Sarah Henderson is a former broadcast journalist best known for her work on the ABC’s The 7.30 Report^[1] and for her consumer advocacy on The Investigators.

She was born in Geelong ^[2]and educated at Sacred Heart College before moving to The Geelong College where she graduated in 1981.

In 1982, Henderson became a cadet reporter with Channel 7 in Melbourne. She went on to work with Channel 9 in Brisbane and then Channel 10 in Melbourne where she presented the weekend news with Alister Paterson and then moved to ABC-TV where she worked as a presenter of the consumer advocacy program The Investigators. Her media career included working as a presenter of the ABC’s Holiday program in 1992-1993 and as the Victorian presenter of The 7.30 Report in 1995.

When The 7.30 Report became a national program in 1996, she continued working as the program’s Law Correspondent and was also awarded a Walkley^[3] for her coverage of the Port Arthur massacre. In 1998, she obtained a Bachelor of Laws from Monash University and moved to a career in the law with the Melbourne firm Arthur Robinson & Hedderwicks. She worked as an attorney for News Corporation and was a weekly columnist with the Herald Sun newspaper from 2002-2004. At the same time she established Kudos Management Group which led to business management roles with Network Ten and National Indigenous TV.

In 2009, Henderson became the Liberal candidate ^[4] for the Federal seat of Corangamite.

She was regarded as having a strong chance of winning this seat at the 2010 federal election;^[5] however, a week after the election counting of ballots suggested that it was likely she had narrowly lost to the ALP incumbent Darren Cheeseman.^[6]
