The Knockouts [ ]
The first episode of the knockouts aired on 6 May 2018. Each knockout round pits 3 artists from the same team against each other, with only one act winning each round. The judges also get two 'steals' each for the entirety of the knockouts, which allows them to steal a rejected act from another team.

The Semi-Finals [ ]
The semi-finals will first broadcast on 10 June 2018. At the end of this episode, four artists will advance to the grand final, while the other five will be eliminated.
With the eliminations of Trent Bell and Ben Clark, Delta Goodrem had no more contestants left on her team, making this the third season in the Australian version of the franchise where a coach didn't have a contestant in the grand finale. This was also the second season in which Goodrem did not have an act in the grand finale.
Sheldon Riley was originally given Girls Just Want to Have Fun but the song didn't work for him so Boy George changed it to Rise .
