The first six seasons aired on the Seven Network, from 2007 to 2012. In the first season the judges were Tom Burlinson, Red Symons and Dannii Minogue. The first season aired at 6:30pm on Sunday nights. After a successful run, the series was given a vote of confidence as Seven moved the show to a more competitive Tuesday night timeslot. The second season aired from 29 April 2008.[3] Burlinson and Symons did not return for season four and were replaced by Kyle Sandilands and Brian McFadden.

For season seven in 2013 the show moved to the Nine Network. Dawn French, Geri Halliwell and Timomatic who is the additional fourth judge joined the panel as replacements for McFadden and Minogue. On 4 April 2014, it was announced that Nine had axed Australia's Got Talent due to low ratings.[4] On 8 July 2015, Nine announced that the show would be returning in 2016 for an eighth season.[5][6] The Nine Network aired season eight in 2016, with four new judges: Kelly Osbourne, Ian "Dicko" Dickson, Sophie Monk and Eddie Perfect.

In December 2018, Seven announced the series would be returning to their network in 2019 for a ninth season.[7] The ninth season, with Ricki-Lee Coulter as host, returned on 28 July 2019.[8]

In June 2021, Seven announced a new season and judging panel; however due to COVID-19 restrictions in Sydney, the production of the season was postponed to 2022, with Shane Jacobson returning, alongside Kate Ritchie, and Britain’s Got Talent judges David Walliams and Alesha Dixon. The tenth season premiered on 9 October 2022.[9]

Overview

Australia's Got Talent is a talent show that features performers of all ages competing for a top prize of between A$100,000 and A$250,000.

The season consists of three stages: auditions, semi-finals, and a final. Only highlights are screened from the auditions. Some seasons included auditions in different cities. The judges cull down the approved audition acts to about 40 acts for the semi-finals.

In most seasons, the semi-finals included a public vote, with a combination of public and judges' choices making the final. Also in the first series, during the semi-finals stage, each judge buzzed either a cross, or a tick. In Season 9, there is no public voting in the semi-finals.

The logo used for the first, seventh and ninth seasons of Australia's Got Talent is similar to the logo used by America's Got Talent. The logo during the second to sixth seasons and season eight is similar to that used by Britain's Got Talent.

Judges

The original three judges were Dannii Minogue, Red Symons and Tom Burlinson.[10] For the second series, all judges returned, though Minogue was absent for numerous episodes as she was busy filming The X Factor in the United Kingdom.[3] The judges later returned for series 3.[11]

In January 2010, it was made known that the judging panel would undergo a new line-up to accommodate Minogue's pregnancy.[12] Judge Red Symons was strongly tipped to return to the Nine Network to be part of the revived Hey Hey It's Saturday, while Tom Burlinson was rumoured to be dumped from the judging panel.[12] Rumours then began to circulate that Kyle Sandilands and Brian McFadden would be the new judges.[12] On 4 February 2010, Sandilands confirmed on his 2Day FM breakfast radio show that he would be a judge.[13] A press release from the Seven Network on 17 February, confirmed McFadden would also join the new judging panel.[14] All judges returned for the fifth and sixth series of the programme.[15][16][17]

Due to the programme's move to Nine Network in 2013, Sandilands returned as a judge, whilst Minogue and McFadden were axed.[18] Timomatic, Geri Halliwell and Dawn French were announced as the new judges.[19][20]

After it was announced that Australia's Got Talent would be returning to screens in 2016, it was announced that there would be a complete new judging panel, with Sandilands, Halliwell, French and Timomatic being axed.[5][6] It was later confirmed that Ian Dickson, Sophie Monk, Kelly Osbourne and Eddie Perfect would become the new judges.[21]

In May 2019, Manu Feildel, Nicole Scherzinger, Lucy Durack and Shane Jacobson were announced as the judging panel for season 9.[22]

In June 2022, it was announced that the season 10 judging panel would consist of Jacobson, Kate Ritchie, and Britain’s Got Talent judges David Walliams and Alesha Dixon.
