The third installment of the sports entertainment reality competition series Australian Ninja Warrior debuted on 8 July 2019, airing on the Nine Network. The season's presentation was led by hosts Rebecca Maddern, Ben Fordham, and Freddie Flintoff.

Format Modifications

  • Prize Structure - This season introduced two distinct cash awards. A $100,000 prize was granted to the competitor who advanced the furthest and fastest across all four stages of the grand final. Charlie Robbins secured this reward by reaching the most advanced obstacle in the quickest time among the five finalists who progressed to stage 3. An extra $200,000 was available for any contestant who managed to fully complete the course, which included successfully climbing the rope on stage 4, Mount Midoriyama. Since no participant completed stage 3, this bonus prize remained unclaimed.
  • Warped Wall Variation - During the heats, challengers faced two warped wall options: a standard height of 4.25 meters and an elevated 5.25-meter Mega Warped Wall. Competitors could select which wall to attempt but were not allowed to switch after an unsuccessful try. Clearing the Mega Warped Wall rewarded athletes with a $5,000 bonus.

Heat 1

Broadcast on 8 July 2019, only five participants managed to finish this course, with a significant number being eliminated at the Spinball Wizard obstacle. Ashlin Herbert, returning from previous seasons, was the only competitor to scale the Mega Warped Wall successfully, earning the $5,000 reward.
