Four special episodes of The Chase Australia aired featuring eight teams from this season, premiering on 16 February at 7:30pm.[3]

  • Teams – All 18 teams from three groups appeared from the start of the competition. Although there have been the same number of teams in the past, a third group was usually introduced later in the competition.
  • Special Guest Judges – Two special celebrity guest judges have appeared alongside the main judging panel for some challenges.
    • Darren Robertson – Joined Colin Fassnidge as judges for Group 3's Instant Restaurant round.
    • Curtis Stone – Makes his second appearance as a guest judge alongside Pete and Colin during the fourth People's choice challenge.[4]
  • Instant Restaurant Sudden Death – This season, the two lowest scoring teams from each round competed against each other in a Sudden Death Cook-Off to determine the team to be eliminated. In previous series, the lowest scoring team at the end of each Instant Restaurant group was immediately eliminated.
