Charmaine Dragun

Born and bred in Western Australia, Charmaine loves a good story, which is why she was drawn to the media. She's always been fascinated by tales of everyday people doing remarkable things.

After graduating from Broadcasting at the WA Academy of Performing Arts. Charmaine began her career as a radio journalist. She worked as a reporter and news reader for Perth radio stations 6PR and 96FM. Her efforts earned her a nomination for Young Journalist of the Year at the National Youth Media Awards, while she also took out the Australian and state titles for Best Radio Reports.

After making the move to television, she rose through the ranks of TEN News, covering everything from entertainment news to stories of major, national significance. She soon found her niche in court reporting and went on to cover some of the biggest cases WA has seen in recent years.

After a couple of stints filling in as TEN News summer presenter, Charmaine was appointed permanent news anchor. She can also be seen hosting TEN's Late News every Friday.

In her spare time, Charmaine likes to combine her love of writing with a bit of adventure, and is a contributor to the national publication 'Scoop Traveller Magazine'.

A very, very sad loss. Tragic that a young lady, seemingly with so much to live for, has left the world in this manner. It highlights why it is so desperately important that the winning party in the upcoming election continues to provide beyondblue with as much funding as possible to help them maximise their stretched resources.
