Australian Survivor

Australian Survivor (occasionally branded and marketed simply as Survivor) is an Australian adventure reality game show based on the international Survivor format. Following the premise of other versions of the Survivor format, the show features a group of contestants, referred to as "castaways" as they are marooned in an isolated location. The castaways must provide food, water, fire, and shelter for themselves. The contestants compete in various challenges for rewards and immunity from elimination. The contestants are progressively eliminated from the game as they are voted out of the game by their fellow castaways. The final castaway remaining is awarded the title of "Sole Survivor" and the grand prize of A$500,000.

The series first aired in 2002 on the Nine Network, who as of 2023, also hold the first-run Australian broadcast rights to the American edition of Survivor. In 2006, a celebrity aired on the Seven Network. Both iterations of the series only lasted one season due to low ratings.

In November 2015, Network Ten announced at its network upfronts that it would be reviving the series in 2016. The series commenced airing on 21 August 2016, with Jonathan LaPaglia hosting. Unlike its predecessors, Network Ten renewed the series for a 2017 season, and the series has continued successfully, with seasons airing yearly. Australian Survivor most recently aired it thirteenth season and eleventh season on Network 10, titled Australia V The World, a special shorter season set on the island of Upolu in Samoa, with previous contestants returning to compete against players from other editions of Survivor. This followed Brains V Brawn II, which aired in early 2025, with 2025 being the first time that Australian Survivor aired two seasons in the same calendar year.

Network 10 confirmed in June 2025 that Australia V The World would be Jonathan LaPaglia's final season as host. He was succeeded by former player David Genat, for the 2026 edition titled Redemption.
