The second season of The Celebrity Apprentice Australia began airing on 18 April 2012 on the Nine Network.

The official cast was announced in January 2012, with filming beginning on 15 January 2012.[1] Mark Bouris returned as CEO, with his son Dane replacing Brad Seymour as boardroom advisor, alongside Deborah Thomas.[2] TV personality Ian "Dicko" Dickson was the celebrity winner, defeating reality star Nathan Jolliffe in the final boardroom.

Candidates

Following the success of the first series it was reported that many Australian celebrities had expressed interest in participating in a second series of the show.[3] Reports regarding the participation of Chopper Read,[4] Nikki Webster,[4] Kris Smith,[4] Julie Goodwin[5] and Stephen Belafonte[5] as candidates failed to eventuate, with media reporting in early January 2012 that David Hasselhoff[5] was set to appear in the series alongside former MasterChef Australia contestant Marion Grasby and The Amazing Race Australia winner Nathan Jolliffe,[4] as well as other expected candidates including Ian Dickson[4] and former Australian rules footballer Jason Akermanis.[4] These celebrities were all confirmed as candidates on 16 January 2012, with the full line-up of participants also consisting of Patti Newton, Charlotte Dawson, Lauryn Eagle, Vince Sorrenti, Fiona O'Loughlin, Ben Dark and Tania Zaetta.[1] [6] It has also been confirmed that Hasselhoff will be raising money for Surf Life Saving Australia,[1] while Newton and Dawson's chosen charities are SIDS for Kids and the Smile Foundation respectively.[1]
