Steinfort began at the
Nine Network in 2007 as a general news reporter for
National Nine News Melbourne. Later on, he became the network's Europe and US correspondent, as well as a reporter on
A Current Affair, a co-host on
Weekend Today and news presenter on
Today before moving to
60 Minutes in 2020. In January 2019, Steinfort was appointed as news presenter on
Today, however he was replaced at the end of the year after the show underwent dismal ratings. He was replaced by
Tracy Vo, whose own tenure also did not last long due to the
COVID-19 pandemic which forced her to return to
Western Australia. In November 2023, it was announced that Steinfort and
Alicia Loxley would replace
Peter Hitchener to present on weeknights and Hitchener will move to weekends from January 2024. ==Personal life==
