The Voice (Australian TV series) season 14

The fourteenth season of The Voice Australia began airing on 10 August 2025. On 28 January 2025, it was revealed on the show's social media that only Kate Miller-Heidke would return as a coach from the previous season for the fourteenth season. At the same time, it was announced that former coach Ronan Keating would return after an eight-season hiatus, replacing Adam Lambert. Melanie C and Richard Marx were announced to debut as coaches, replacing LeAnn Rimes, and Guy Sebastian, respectively.^[1][2]

Similar to the previous four seasons, the finale was pre-recorded and the winner was determined by a viewer poll. Alyssa Delpopolo was declared the winner, marking Kate Miller-Heidke's first win as a coach. She became the first artist that was not scheduled to audition in the blind auditions to win a season of a major singing competition anywhere in the world (Miller-Heidke invited her to audition after hearing her sing in the audience). Delpopolo also became the first stolen artist to win in the show's history (Miller-Heidke stole her in the battles from Ronan Keating's team). Additionally, she became the fourth winning artist that had a coach blocked during their blind audition, after Bella Taylor Smith, Lachie Gill, and Reuben De Melo in the tenth, eleventh, and previous season, respectively, the second artist to be subject to an ultimate block after De Melo, and the first target to be stolen and later win the competition.

In October 2024, it was announced that Guy Sebastian would not be returning to the show after six seasons as a coach.^[3] On 28 January 2025, it was announced that Kate Miller-Heidke would return as a coach for the fourteenth season for her second season from the previous season. In the meantime, former coach Ronan Keating returned to the panel after an eight-season hiatus, while Melanie C and Richard Marx joined the panel as debuting coaches. Sonia Kruger returned as host.^[4]

In the blind auditions, the coaches complete their teams with 10 members each. The regular block returned from last season, each coach receives one to effectively block another coach from getting an artist. Additionally, the ultimate block, which was introduced last season, returned. The feature blocks all other coaches, defaulting the artist to the user's team. With either block, the coach who is blocked is null and invalid to pitch for the artist. Like last season, a coach can block at any time, even during their pitch, as long as the coach turned their chair.

• Alyssa Delpopolo was originally in the audience, but was invited by Miller-Heidke to audition following her rendition of "Valerie".

The battles aired from 7 to 21 September. Each coach forms duets from two artists on their team. Of the two artists, the coach declares one the winner of the battle. The winner moves on directly to the knockouts. The loser of the battle is either eliminated, "saved" by their coach, or "stolen" by another coach to move on to the knockouts.

• Hunter Black was originally eliminated after Keating opted not to save him directly following the battle. However, Keating brought him back on stage and saved him after stating he "made a big mistake" not saving Black originally.
• All coaches attempted to use a lifeline on Gemma Hollingsworth in episode 12, after previously using their lifelines. Melanie C used her save, while Keating, Miller-Heidke, and Marx followed by using their steals. Hollingsworth opted to stay on Team Melanie C, with Melanie C having one extra member in knockouts.

The knockouts aired on 28 September & 12 October. The remaining six artists (seven for Team Melanie C) on each team sing a song based on a theme picked out by their coaches for four spots on their respective team. The four winners per team move on to the showdowns, while the other two artists (three for Team Melanie C) are eliminated. Teams Melanie C and Richard performed on the first night, while Teams Kate and Ronan performed on the second night.

• In the knockout with artists Cle Morgan, Mitchell Dormer, and Ellaphon Ta, Keating could not make a decision on which two artists to pick, so he took opted to send all three to the showdowns. This meant that for his team's second knockout with artists Milly Monk, Tiffney Reynolds, and Hunter Black, he could only take one of them through.

In the Showdowns, Knockout winners sing a song of their choice, then coaches pick two of them to go through the Semifinals.

The Semi-finals aired on 19 & 26 October. The 8 remaining artists sing different songs for a place in the Grand Final. At the end of the episode, coaches are only allowed to pick one artist from their team to advance to the Grand Final. Like the Knockouts and Showdowns, Teams Melanie C and Richard performed on the first night, while Teams Kate and Ronan performed on the second night.

For the first time in the history of the show, all four artists advancing to the Grand Finale are female.

The Grand Finale aired on 2 November 2025. Each artist performed a solo song and a duet with their coach. Similar to the last five seasons, this was the only episode of the season where the results were determined by public vote and not by the coaches. Alyssa Delpopolo was declared the winner, marking Kate Miller-Heidke's first win as a coach. Delpopolo became the first invitee and stolen artist in the history of the show to win a season. This was the first Grand Finale in the show’s history featuring all four female artists.

• Cassie Henderson was on the first season of The X Factor New Zealand, where she came in fifth place.
• Cle Morgan was on the first season of Australian Idol finishing in the Top 10 (as Cle Wootton). She also appeared on Ship to Shore in 1993 and Popstars in 2002.
