The 2024 season of The Voice Australia features a revamped judging panel with Guy Sebastian returning alongside newcomers Adam Lambert, LeAnn Rimes, and Kate Miller-Heidke. Reports indicate that Lambert and Rimes are earning between $750,000 and $1.2 million, while Miller-Heidke is making upwards of $500,000, all significantly less than last year's judges Rita Ora and Jason Derulo. This shake-up comes as Channel Seven aims to cut costs, reportedly due to financial challenges and a drive to achieve over $100 million in savings. Guy Sebastian's salary has risen from $750,000 to approximately $1 million, but there have been disputes regarding pay equity among the coaches. Insider sources suggest that the new lineup is a strategic move to maintain the show's appeal while managing expenses. Viewers can expect some tension among the coaches, particularly between Sebastian and Miller-Heidke, during the season's episodes.
