3AW Mornings with Tom Elliott is a daily talkback radio program and podcast based in Melbourne, Australia. Hosted by Tom Elliott, the show airs on 3AW 693 and is subsequently released as digital audio in both full-episode and highlight formats. Elliott assumed the Mornings role in January 2024, succeeding long-time broadcaster Neil Mitchell after previously hosting the station’s Drive program for a decade.
The program functions as a primary source for local news and agenda-setting commentary within the state of Victoria. Its content is heavily dictated by the daily news cycle, covering topics such as state and federal politics, urban infrastructure, public safety, and economic policy. Drawing on Elliott’s professional background in finance and investment banking, the show frequently incorporates analytical perspectives on market trends, government budgets, and the cost of living.
A central component of the broadcast is audience participation through live talkback. Listeners call in to report local incidents, voice opinions on social issues, and engage directly with the host. These interactions often shape the program’s editorial direction, highlighting community concerns ranging from municipal services and crime to cultural shifts in the city.
In addition to listener engagement, the show features regular interviews with high-profile figures, including the Premier of Victoria, government ministers, and the Chief Commissioner of Victoria Police. These segments aim to provide accountability and detailed inquiry into current events. The podcast version of the show serves as an archive for these conversations, offering full recordings of the three-and-a-half-hour live broadcast alongside shorter, subject-specific clips for on-demand listening. Under Elliott's leadership, the program continues 3AW’s tradition of high-reach morning talk radio, maintaining a focus on the immediate interests and concerns of the Melbourne metropolitan area.
