Sydney-based lifestyle magazine The Australian Women's Weekly has appointed Kathy Lette as a regular columnist, Susan Kurosawa as Travel Editor, and GP Dr Caroline West to lead the return of Ask the Doctor as a health and wellbeing platform across print, digital and social..

Kathy will bring her perspective on life, relationships and issues facing women to the magazine each month. Susan will lead the refreshed Travel vertical, while Dr Caroline will provide readers with advice on health issues. The return of Ask the Doctor also marks the relaunch of the magazine's Good Health vertical across its digital, social, print and live event platforms.

Sophie Tedmanson, Editor of The Australian Women's Weekly, said: "Kathy Lette is one of Australia's most entertaining and astute observers of women's lives, and we are thrilled to welcome her unmistakable voice to The Weekly. We are also excited to expand our Travel vertical with Susan Kurosawa bringing her trusted travel authority, insights and warmth to inspire our audience to experience Australia and the world.

"The return of Ask the Doctor is equally significant. At a time when health misinformation is increasingly difficult to navigate, Dr Caroline West brings deep expertise, empathy and a genuine ability to make complex issues feel clear and relevant."

The appointments strengthen the magazine's contributor line-up across community, food, travel, money and health. Regular contributors include Kathy, Chrissie Swan and Edwina Bartholomew across community; Dr Caroline across health; Effie Zahos across money; Susan across travel; and Maggie Beer, Julie Goodwin, Laura Sharrad, Depinder Chhibber, Karima Hazim and Fran Abdallaoui across food.
