Michael Rowland, after 39 years at the ABC including 15 years as a news presenter, has retired, citing burnout and a desire to prioritize family and health.
In a 14-month span, he left the network, canceled a European trip due to his wife Nicola Webber’s non-cancerous bowel illness, sold his Melbourne home, and moved to Tewantin, Queensland.
He said he feels no regret over stepping away during the US-Iran conflict, emphasizing a shift in identity from journalist to husband, father, and son.
His new focus is on slower living, relationships, and personal well-being.
