Australia's Got Talent

The original three judges were Dannii Minogue, Red Symons and Tom Burlinson.[10] For the second series, all judges returned, though Minogue was absent for numerous episodes as she was busy filming The X Factor in the United Kingdom.[3] The judges later returned for series 3.[11]

In January 2010, it was made known that the judging panel would undergo a new line-up to accommodate Minogue's pregnancy.[12] Judge Red Symons was strongly tipped to return to the Nine Network to be part of the revived Hey Hey It's Saturday, while Tom Burlinson was rumoured to be dumped from the judging panel.[12] Rumours then began to circulate that Kyle Sandilands and Brian McFadden would be the new judges.[12] On 4 February 2010, Sandilands confirmed on his 2Day FM breakfast radio show that he would be a judge.[13] A press release from the Seven Network on 17 February, confirmed McFadden would also join the new judging panel.[14] All judges returned for the fifth and sixth series of the programme.[15][16][17]

Due to the programme's move to Nine Network in 2013, Sandilands returned as a judge, whilst Minogue and McFadden were axed.[18] Timomatic, Geri Halliwell and Dawn French were announced as the new judges.[19][20]

After it was announced that Australia's Got Talent would be returning to screens in 2016, it was announced that there would be a complete new judging panel, with Sandilands, Halliwell, French and Timomatic being axed.[5][6] It was later confirmed that Ian Dickson, Sophie Monk, Kelly Osbourne and Eddie Perfect would become the new judges.[21]

In May 2019, Manu Feildel, Nicole Scherzinger, Lucy Durack and Shane Jacobson were announced as the judging panel for season 9.[22]

In June 2022, it was announced that the season 10 judging panel would consist of Jacobson, Kate Ritchie, and Britain’s Got Talent judges David Walliams and Alesha Dixon.
