Kate Miller-Heidke is heading to the Eurovision Song Contest as Australia’s bid for global glory.

The veteran singer-songwriter beat nine other contenders with her song Zero Gravity, a song she says was inspired by coming out of depression after the birth of her son, Ernie, in 2016.

She said she was "overwhelmed" by the result.
