Grace Mitchell

Grace Mitchell is an Australian economic writer known for clear, numbers-first reporting on how policy decisions land in households and businesses. She began her career in local business journalism in Adelaide before moving to national coverage at major Australian publications, where she developed a specialist beat covering inflation, wages, housing affordability, and the financial system. Over the past decade, Grace has produced explainers that connect economic indicators to everyday outcomes, from energy prices to mortgage stress. She has also written extensively on Australia’s productivity debate, regulation of major industries, and the outlook for interest rates and government spending. Her work has been recognised for accuracy and depth, including multiple editorial awards and consistently high readership engagement during major economic events such as budget cycles and central bank meetings. Grace’s reporting is grounded in accessible analysis, but it remains tightly sourced and attentive to uncertainty.
