The thirteenth season of The Voice Australia began airing on 19 August 2024. On 18 October 2023, it was confirmed that Seven Network had picked up the show for its thirteenth season, set to broadcast on 19 August 2024. On 6 February 2024, it was revealed on the show's social media that only Guy Sebastian would return as a coach from the previous season for the thirteenth season. At the same time, it was announced that LeAnn Rimes, Kate Miller-Heidke, and Adam Lambert would debut as coaches, replacing Rita Ora, Jessica Mauboy, and Jason Derulo, respectively.[1][2]Sonia Kruger returned as host for her ninth season.[3]
Similar to the previous three seasons, the finale was pre-recorded and the winner was determined by a viewer poll. Reuben De Melo was declared the winner, marking LeAnn Rimes' first win as a coach. Rimes became the third coach to win on his/her debut season following will.i.am and Jessie J. Additionally, De Melo became the third winning artist that had a coach blocked during his/her blind audition (Rimes blocking the other three coaches with the Ultimate Block), after Bella Taylor Smith and Lachie Gill in the tenth and eleventh season, respectively.
In this season, a new button Ultimate Block was introduced. The feature is similar to the super block in the second season of The Voice Kids Italy, which instantly blocks other coaches and default the artist to the blocker's team.
Note: Italicised names are artists stolen from another team during the battles (names struck through within former teams). Underlined names are artists saved by their coach during the battles.
Blind auditions
In the blind auditions, the coaches complete their teams with 12 members each. The block returned from last season, but with a twist. Each coach now only has one main block that they can use to block another coach. However, each coach gets one additional block, dubbed the Ultimate Block, which blocks all other turned coaches, defaulting the artist to their team. With either block, the coach who is blocked is null and invalid to pitch for the artist. Like last season, a coach can block at any time, even during their pitch, as long as the coach turned their chair.[5]

The battles aired from 15 through 29 September. Each coach forms duets from two artists on their team. Of the two artists, the coach declares one the winner of the battle. The winner moves on directly to the knockouts. The loser of the battle is either eliminated, "saved" by their coach, or "stolen" by another coach to move on to the knockouts.

In the Showdowns, Brad and Tori didn't have enough time to rehearse a new song, so they performed individual songs instead while still competed as a duo.
Finals
Semi-final
The Semifinal aired on 20 October. The 8 remaining artists sing different songs for a place in the Grand Final. At the end of the episode, coaches are only allowed to pick one artist from their team to advance to the Grand Final.
The Grand Finale was broadcast on 27 October 2024. Each artist performed a solo song and a duet with their coach. Similar to the last four seasons, this was the only episode of the season where the results were determined by public vote and not by the coaches. Reuben De Melo was declared the winner, marking LeAnn Rimes' first win as a coach. Rimes became the third coach on the Australian version on The Voice to win on their debut season.
