Season chronology |
The twelfth season of The Voice began airing on 6 August 2023.[1] In March 2023, it was announced Seven Network had once again picked up the series for its twelfth season, set to broadcast in 2023. At the same time, it was announced that Jessica Mauboy, Rita Ora, and Guy Sebastian would all return as coaches.[2] Jason Derulo debuted as a coach, replacing Keith Urban, who left the show for personal reasons. Sonia Kruger also returned as host.[2]
With Keith Urban's departure as a coach, the twelfth season is the first to not feature any of the original coaches from the show's inaugural season.
Similar to the previous two seasons, the finale was pre-recorded and the winner was determined by a viewer poll. Tarryn Stokes was declared the winner, marking Rita Ora's third and final win as a coach (her first win occurred on the generations version of the show). Also, with Stokes' win, Ora became the third coach (after Seal and Delta Goodrem) to win two consecutive seasons in the Australian franchise of The Voice. Moreover, with Ora's win, she tied with Delta Goodrem for having the most wins as coaches on The Voice Australia.
