The show aims to find currently unsigned singing talent (solo or duets, professional and amateur) contested by aspiring singers aged 15 or older, drawn from public auditions. The winners receive a recording contract with Universal Music Australia or EMI Music Australia, as well as A$100,000 and other prizes. Winners of the twelve seasons have been: Karise Eden, Harrison Craig, Anja Nissen, Ellie Drennan, Alfie Arcuri, Judah Kelly, Sam Perry, Diana Rouvas, Chris Sebastian, Bella Taylor Smith, Lachie Gill, and Tarryn Stokes.

The series employs a panel of four coaches who critique the artists' performances and guide their teams of selected artists through the remainder of the season. They also compete to ensure that their act wins the competition, thus making them the winning coach. The original panel featured Delta Goodrem, Joel Madden, Seal and Keith Urban; the panel for the upcoming thirteenth season will feature Guy Sebastian, Adam Lambert, Kate Miller-Heidke and LeAnn Rimes. Other judges from previous seasons include Ricky Martin, Kylie Minogue, will.i.am, Benji Madden, Jessie J, Ronan Keating, Joe Jonas, Kelly Rowland, Boy George, Rita Ora, Jessica Mauboy, and Jason Derulo.

Format edit

The show is part of the television franchise The Voice and is structured as three phases: blind auditions, battle rounds and live performance shows. In 2017, the show added another phase: the knockouts between the blind auditions and the battles. The winner receives a recording contract with Universal Music or EMI (2019) as well as A$100,000 and other prizes.[1]

Blind auditions edit

Four judges/coaches, all noteworthy recording artists, choose teams of contestants through a blind audition process during the auditioner's performance. If two or more judges want the same singer (as happens frequently), the singer has the final choice of coach. Each coach must recruit a number of artists (12 in seasons 1, 4-9, 11-12; 14 in seasons 2 and 3) to their team in the blind auditions to move on to the next phase of the competition. In season 10, coaches can complete their teams without a specific number of members.

A new element was introduced in season 9: the Block. Aside from the main button, each coach has three other buttons with the names of their fellow coaches. When a coach wants to get the specific contestant but does not want another coach to do so, they may press the block button to block them from getting the contestant. The coach who wants to use the block and the coach who is being blocked have to turn before any block can be used. They have two blocks to use in the entire phase of the blind auditions and 2 coaches can be blocked in a single audition. In season 11, a coach can block another coach at any time, even during their pitch. In season 12, coaches are allowed to block before a coach turns their chair.

Also, in Season 11, a Battle Pass was introduced, where in each coach can send one artist immediately in the battle rounds by pressing their silver button. This can be used only once in the entire blind auditions. This is axed in the next season.

Knockout and battle rounds edit

Each team of singers are mentored and developed by their coach. In the second stage, called the battles, two members from the same team battle it out and perform a duet together. After the battle round, coaches must choose only one to advance. In season 2, a new element was featured in the battle rounds: The Save. Each coach can save one losing artist to join them to their team and reinstating them in the competition. Starting from season 3, the coaches can save two artists instead of one.

Next in the battle rounds was the showdown rounds (which was also introduced in Season 2). In the showdown rounds, each team is grouped into two groups of four artists and will perform a song. One will be saved by the public, the lowest-voter will be immediately eliminated, and the remaining two will be sent to the sing-off. In the sing-off, the artists will sing a reprise of their blind audition and the coaches can only select one artist to advance to the finals. This was slightly changed in season 3, wherein three groups of three artists will perform a song. From each group, one will be saved by the public, the lowest-voter will be immediately eliminated, and the remaining artist will be sent into the sing-off. Those artists that are sent to the sing-off will have to perform a reprise of their blind audition and coaches can only advance one of them to the finals.

In season 4, the showdown round was replaced by the Super Battles. Each coach chooses two of their artists to go straight to the live shows via a Fast Pass. The remaining six artists from each team will be grouped in two groups of three artists. Each artist will sing a different song and coaches can only select one artist to the Live shows. This was slightly changed in season 5, where in each coach must group their team into two groups of four artists each. Those four artists sing an individual song following a theme picked by their coaches. Only two from each group will be able to advance to the live shows.

Starting in season 6, the battles and the knockout rounds were swapped. In the knockouts, coaches pick three of their acts to go against each other in a sing off, with a theme. They all have different songs, after which the coach chooses which act will advance into the next phase, the battles. Once the coach has made a choice, the other coaches have an opportunity to steal two losing artists that were rejected by their coach. Starting in season 8, the coaches can save their own artists. After the knockout rounds is the battle rounds, where artists perform a duet together. Coaches must choose only one to advance, while the other one will be eliminated. Starting from season 7, coaches can select one losing artist in the battles to be a wildcard and might advance to the live shows. However, only one from the four wildcards will advance to the Top 13. In season 8, the coaches’ wildcards are immediately advanced to the final.

In season 9, the battle rounds happened after the blind auditions. The same rules were applied in the earlier seasons, with two saves available, and the coaches can save their own artists as well. After the battle rounds comes the playoffs, where each coach pairs two of their artists together, with each artist singing an individual song following a theme. After all their team's playoffs were done, the coaches chose one of their losing artists as a wildcard and moves on to the Showdowns. In the Showdowns, all artists in their teams will performs and coaches can only takes 2 of them through to the semi-finals.

In season 10, there were no battle rounds and only the knockout rounds were implemented. In that season's knockouts, each artist must perform to their coach. After each act performs, the coaches have three options: to either send the artist straight to the semi-final, send the artist home, or decide at the end of the show when all artists have performed. Each coach can only take two artists through to the semi-final.

In season 11, a new round was introduced, the Callbacks. Coaches will reduce their teams from twelve artists to six, consisting of five artists and one Battles Pass artist. Some artists will be required to perform their blind audition songs, while others will perform during the sing-offs (with coaches choosing a theme, similar to the knockout round in seasons 6 to 8), or they may need to do both. Coaches have the flexibility to advance one, two, or all of their artists in the group, as long as they save at least five of them. Next come the battles, where coaches will pair six artists, comprising five from the Callbacks and one Battles Pass artist. The same rules in the battles applied, with only one from each pair to advance, however, there are no saves available. The artists who win their battles will progress to the Singoffs. Following the battles, coaches will choose one artist from the winning battle artists to advance directly to the semi-finals, while the remaining artists will need to perform another song, with only one of them advancing.

The Callbacks were slightly changed in season 12. Coaches are required to organize their artists into four groups, with each group consisting of three artists. The coaches gave a theme for each of the groups (similar to the singoffs in season 11). In each group, one will go straight to the battles, one will be eliminated, and one will be going to the Ultimate Callbacks for a final cut decision before the battles (a format similar with the showdowns in season 3). During the Ultimate Callbacks, coaches create two groups, each comprising two artists who didn't advance from the callbacks or get eliminated. In a make-or-break sing off, one artist from each group will advance to the battles, while the other will be eliminated. The same battle and sing-off rules last season were applied this season.

The Cut edit

In season 10, this new phase was introduced and consisted of coaches cutting their teams to just five artists. This phase replaced the "battles" phase typical of past seasons.[2] In this stage of the competition, the coaches divide their teams in groups of a specific theme and the contestants battle it out singing the same song. Each coach can only take five artists through to the Knockouts.

Finals and live shows edit

In the final phase, the remaining contestants (Final 8) compete against each other. The audience and coaches have equal say in deciding who moves to the Final 4 phase. With one team member remaining for each coach, the (Final 4) contestants compete in the finale with the outcome decided by public vote.

Production edit

 
Coaches (series 1): Seal, Keith Urban, Delta Goodrem, and Joel Madden.
 
Ricky Martin was announced as Urban's replacement for the second series.

In May 2011, The Daily Telegraph reported that the Nine Network would broadcast The Voice in late 2011.[3] However, two months later, it was reported that the show would instead air in early 2012, and that the Nine Network were in talks with signing at least one international artist (especially an American) to lead its panel of coaches on the show, which were rumoured to be Christina Aguilera, George Michael, Usher, Pink and Gwen Stefani.[1] In September 2011, the Herald Sun reported that the Nine Network were planning to sign Australia's Got Talent judge Dannii Minogue as one of the coaches.[4] Anthony Callea, Vanessa Amorosi and former Pussycat Dolls member Ashley Roberts all publicly expressed interest in coaching roles.[5][6] However, Keith Urban, Delta Goodrem, Seal and Joel Madden were ultimately confirmed as the four coaches for the first season.[7] On signing the four coaches, Michael Healy, the Nine Network's Director of Television, said: "To secure such world-class coaches has been a coup for this show and the network. The mix of talent and unique format will, we truly believe, be a captivating experience for our viewers."[8]

Darren McMullen was announced as the host of the program in January 2012.[9][10] Additionally, Ricki-Lee Coulter (with Seal), Darren Hayes, (Goodrem), Megan Washington (Urban) and Benji Madden (with brother Joel) were signed to pair up with the coaches as mentors for their contestants during the "Battle Round".[11][12] On 10 May 2012, Faustina Agolley was announced as the show's social media correspondent during the live shows.[13]

Filming for the blind auditions stage of the competition began on 19 February 2012 at Fox Studios in Sydney,[8][14] with 121 artists featured in this phase of the selection process.[15] The first day of filming resulted in hundreds of audience members being turned away from the studio due to overbooking of the event by an external booking agent.[14] Filming for the battle rounds started in late March.[16] In response to the immediate ratings success of the blind auditions, the Nine Network renewed the series for a second season on 27 April 2012.[17]

With Urban accepting an offer to join the American Idol judging panel it was announced in September 2012 that he would not be returning as a coach for the second season.[18] Following an extensive search process by producers, and constant media speculation[19][20] on who would replace Urban, Ricky Martin was officially announced as the new coach in November 2012.[21] In response to joining the series, Martin paid tribute to Urban saying he was "humbled to be sitting in his chair".[21] Healy stated that Martin would bring "huge experience" and be the "perfect addition" to the coaching panel,[22] with Goodrem, Madden and Seal all publicly expressing excitement at the news via their Twitter accounts.[23]

The success of the first season led to the Nine Network increasing its programming run for the second season, with an extra ten hours of content to be broadcast and the season running for approximately three months instead of two.[21] For 2014, Goodrem left the panel to join The Voice Kids, and Seal left to continue on his music career. Goodrem and Seal were in turn replaced by The Voice UK coaches Kylie Minogue and will.i.am. On 13 January 2015, it was announced that Goodrem would return to the panel, and new judges Jessie J and Benji Madden would join the series, replacing former judges Minogue and will.i.am.[24] On 22 February 2015, it was announced that Sonia Kruger would be joining the fourth season as a co-host with McMullen.[25] In 2015, Darren McMullen announced he was leaving The Voice, with Sonia Kruger to be a solo host in 2016.[26]

On 28 December 2015, Ronan Keating confirmed he would replace Martin on the show's fifth season, alongside returning coaches Goodrem, Jessie J and The Madden Brothers.[27] On 19 June 2016, it was announced that pop duo The Veronicas will briefly replace The Madden Brothers as coaches for the second live show on Sunday 19 June while the brothers are in the US on tour due to band commitments. The brothers are to due back on screen for the rest of the live shows. During an interview with NewsLitmited, the sisters stated "It's a very brutal industry to be in. We are very honest, very upfront and very real about the advice we give. We're not going to be sugar coating anything. There's not going to be anything contrived about our time on the show."[citation needed] Jessie J ruled out returning to the show for the 2017 show and stated "I've loved doing the show, I've done four seasons: two in the U.K., two in Sydney, but I just need to make another album."[28]

On 8 November 2016, it was announced that Goodrem would return for her fifth season as a coach, whilst original judge Seal, who departed the series following the second season, would return and replaced Jessie J.[29] On 8 December 2016, it was announced that Boy George would become the third coach for the series' sixth season replacing The Madden Brothers.[30] On 24 December 2016, it was announced that Kelly Rowland would become the fourth and final coach for the series' sixth season to replace Keating.[31]

On 11 October 2017, the series was renewed for a seventh season and it was announced that Goodrem, George and Rowland would all return.[32] On 14 December 2017, Nine announced Joe Jonas would replace Seal as the fourth judge for the seventh season.[33]

On 17 October 2018, the series was renewed for an eighth season and it was announced that Goodrem, George and Rowland would all return.[34] On 14 November 2018, Nine announced Guy Sebastian would replace Jonas as the fourth judge for the eighth season.[35] The eighth season premiered on 19 May 2019.[36]

On 16 October 2019, the series was renewed for a ninth season and it was announced that Goodrem, George, Rowland and Sebastian would all be returning as series judges.[37] In November 2019, Sonia Kruger announced she would be leaving Nine Network at the end of 2019, in which she will be resigning as the show's host.[38][39] In January 2020, Darren McMullen was announced to return as host after his departure in 2014, along with new co-host Renee Bargh.[40][41]

Due to the Acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney, Fox Studios has been designated to Disney and Marvel productions, resulting in ITV Studios Australia becoming the new home location for The Voice.[42] In August 2020, it was announced Seven Network had picked up the series for its tenth season, set to broadcast sometime in the following year, with Kruger returning as host.[43][44] In December of the same year, Seven announced Sebastian would continue as a coach; Jessica Mauboy and former The Voice UK coach Rita Ora were named new coaches replacing Rowland and Goodrem, and Urban was announced to return to the coaching panel replacing Boy George.[45]

On 16 July 2021, Seven Network and The Voice casting website announced that two new seasons will be broadcast in 2022: the upcoming eleventh regular season, and The Voice Generations.[46] For the "generations" version, family groups, consisted in people of several ages, are the ones who can apply.

On 11 October 2021, it was announced that Sebastian, Urban, Ora, and Mauboy would all be returning as coaches for 2022.[47]

On 9 October 2022, Urban announced that he would not be a coach for the twelfth season.[48][49] On 30 October 2022, it was announced that Mauboy would be returning for her third season as a coach.[50] In March 2023, Jason Derulo was announced as a new coach taking the place of Urban, while Sebastian and Ora would also be returning as coaches.[51][52]

In January 2024, it was confirmed that Mauboy, Ora, and Derulo would depart the panel for the thirteenth season, while Sebastian was confirmed to be returning to the panel.[53] In February 2024, it was announced that Adam Lambert, Kate Miller-Heidke, and LeAnn Rimes would join the panel for the upcoming season.[54]

The battle rounds also returned; coaches are to cut their team from 6 to 3 by pairing two of their artists to sing the same song as a duet. Then the coaches must pick two out of their 3 winners to advance to the semi-finals. From the semi-finals, each coach must choose one artist to advance to the pre-recorded finale. Similar to last season, the winner was determined by a viewer poll, with Lachie Gill being declared the winner.

Season 12 (2023) edit

In March 2023, it was announced that Guy Sebastian, Rita Ora, and Jessica Mauboy would all return as coaches for the twelfth series. Meanwhile, Keith Urban was replaced by Jason Derulo. Sonia Kruger returns as host. This season axed the Battle Pass, which was introduced in the previous season. Also, this season the coaches were allowed to block before a coach turns their chair, which prevented the blocked coach's chair from facing the artist if they pressed their button. Similar to the previous two seasons, the winner was determined by a viewer poll, with Tarryn Stokes of Team Rita being declared the winner.

Season 13 (2024) edit

In February 2024, it was announced that Guy Sebastian would return as a coach for the thirteenth series. Meanwhile, Rita Ora, Jessica Mauboy, and Jason Derulo were replaced by LeAnn Rimes, Kate Miller-Heidke, and Adam Lambert. Sonia Kruger will return as host.

Spin-offs edit

The Voice Kids edit

The Voice Generations edit

On 16 July 2021, The Voice casting website announced the application for a new version of the show to be broadcast in 2022: The Voice: Generations,[46] where family or friend groups consisting in singers of all ages are the ones who can apply. This is an original version of The Voice franchise, with the idea being adapted to the Lithuanian series a few weeks later. The first season is hosted by Sonia Kruger and has Jessica Mauboy, Rita Ora, Guy Sebastian and Keith Urban as coaches.

Music releases by contestants edit

Two The Voice Australia winners, Karise Eden and Harrison Craig's, albums have debuted at number one on the ARIA albums chart. Besides both winners, Darren Percival, Rachael Leahcar, Sarah De Bono, Prinnie Stevens, Emma Birdsall, Adam Martin and Lakyn of season 1, and Luke Kennedy, Emma Pask, Danny Ross, Ms. Murphy and Caterina Torres of season 2 have all signed record contracts with Universal Music Australia.

Possibly the most notable alumni of the series is season 2 finalist Celia Pavey, who has achieved a successful pop career in Australia under the name Vera Blue. Her single "Papercuts" with rapper Illy peaked at #2 on the ARIA singles chart, and her second album Perennial debuted on the ARIA albums chart at #6. Eleven of her singles have achieved either Gold or Platinum status in the country.

Another notable alumni is season 4 contestant Grace Pitts, who has had a successful career under the name GRAACE, receiving significant airplay on Triple J.

song and coaches can only select one artist to the Live shows This was slightly changed in season 5 where in each coach must group their team into two groups of four artists each Those four artists sing an individual song following a theme picked by their coaches Only two from each group will be able to advance to the live shows Starting in season 6 the battles and the knockout rounds were swapped In the knockouts coaches pick three of their acts to go against each other in a sing off with a theme They all have different songs after which the coach chooses which act will advance into the next phase the battles Once the coach has made a choice the other coaches have an opportunity to steal two losing artists that were rejected by their coach Starting in season 8 the coaches can save their own artists After the knockout rounds is the battle rounds where artists perform a duet together Coaches must choose only one to advance while the other one will be eliminated Starting from season 7 coaches can select one losing artist in the battles to be a wildcard and might advance to the live shows However only one from the four wildcards will advance to the Top 13 In season 8 the coaches wildcards are immediately advanced to the final In season 9 the battle rounds happened after the blind auditions The same rules were applied in the earlier seasons with two saves available and the coaches can save their own artists as well After the battle rounds comes the playoffs where each coach pairs two of their artists together with each artist singing an individual song following a theme After all their team s playoffs were done the coaches chose one of their losing artists as a wildcard and moves on to the Showdowns In the Showdowns all artists in their teams will performs and coaches can only takes 2 of them through to the semi finals In season 10 there were no battle rounds and only the knockout rounds were implemented In that season s knockouts each artist must perform to their coach After each act performs the coaches have three options to either send the artist straight to the semi final send the artist home or decide at the end of the show when all artists have

the battles where coaches will pair six artists comprising five from the Callbacks and one Battles Pass artist The same rules in the battles applied with only one from each pair to advance however

the semi finals while the remaining artists will need to perform another song with only one of them advancing The Callbacks were slightly changed in season 12 Coaches are required to organize their artists into four groups with each group consisting of three artists The coaches gave a theme for each of the groups similar to the singoffs in season 11 In each group one will go straight to the battles one will be eliminated and one will be going to the Ultimate Callbacks for a final cut decision before the battles a format similar with the showdowns in season 3 During the Ultimate Callbacks coaches create two groups each comprising two artists who didn t advance from the callbacks or get eliminated In a make or break sing off one artist from each group will advance to the battles while the other will be eliminated The same battle and sing off rules last season were applied this season The Cut edit In season 10 this new phase was introduced and consisted of coaches cutting their teams to just five artists This phase replaced the battles phase typical of past seasons 2 In this stage of the competition the coaches divide their teams in groups of a specific theme and the
