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.
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.
In March 2023, it was announced that Guy Sebastian, Rita Ora, and Jessica Mauboy would all return as coaches for the twelfth season. It was also announced that Jason Derulo would make his debut as a coach this season, replacing Keith Urban. Sonia Kruger returned as host.

In the blind auditions, the coaches complete their teams with 12 members each. Each coach can block another two times, and the coach who is blocked is unable to pitch for the artist. Like last season, a coach can block at any time, even during their pitch, as long as the blocker turned their chair. However, this season, coaches are allowed to block before a coach turns their chair. Also, this season axed the Battle Pass, which was introduced in the previous season.
