Lisa Joy Millar (born 19 February 1969[citation needed]) is an Australian television news presenter, journalist and the current host of ABC documentary series Back Roads.

Millar has previously been co-host of the ABC's breakfast program News Breakfast alongside Michael Rowland.

She has also been a foreign correspondent for ABC News based in London and Washington DC.

Millar began her journalism career in newspapers, with a cadetship for The Gympie Times and then Brisbane's afternoon tabloid newspaper, The Sun, until it closed down in late 1991.

She next moved north to Townsville, where she worked for the regional television broadcaster, WIN TV, for a year, after which she crossed to the ABC as its North Queensland correspondent. Millar then worked in the Federal Press Gallery in Canberra for the ABC, including during the 1996 Federal Election campaign.

She also reported for ABC Radio in Queensland, hosted the Queensland edition of Stateline and was a regular commentator on Queensland issues for 702 ABC Sydney.[citation needed]

In 2001, Millar was assigned as the ABC's North American correspondent, based in Washington, before returning to Australia in 2005. She was part of the team that won the 2005 Walkley Award for Investigative Journalism for the story that discovered Vivian Solon in the Philippines.

In 2007, Millar was awarded an Ochberg Fellowship by the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma for creating a DVD to assist journalists who experience grief or trauma.
