Australian Survivor: All Stars marks the seventh installment of Australian Survivor, broadcast on Network 10. This edition brought together 24 returning players from the prior four network seasons.[1] The season debuted on 3 February 2020 and concluded on 30 March 2020, with David Genat securing the A$500,000 grand prize and earning the title of Sole Survivor, edging out runner-up Sharn Coombes.
Jonathan LaPaglia reprised his role as host but was unable to attend both the finale and reunion events due to travel restrictions imposed by the pandemic. The reunion was instead hosted by Osher Günsberg, while LaPaglia participated remotely via satellite link.[2]
Contestants
This season featured a total of twenty-four returning players exclusively drawn from seasons three through six; no contestants from the initial two seasons participated.

Season overview
A total of 24 All Stars from earlier seasons were divided into two tribes named Mokuta and Vakama. Early exits of former champions Shane and Jericho shifted control towards Henry and Mat. Henry was the first to claim an immunity idol; Vakama split into two factions under David and Mat's leadership. David masterminded a surprise vote against his own alliance to eliminate Daisy, with assistance from Henry’s idol. Mokuta’s physically strong members excelled in challenges, systematically removing players who relied more on social gameplay.
Following a tribe shuffle, Vakama lost David and Phoebe but capitalized on Shonee’s influence to break apart the athletic group and minority leader Mat. Mokuta remained largely united except when Phoebe defected, resulting in her elimination orchestrated by David and Moana. David acquired two immunity idols, one obtained by taking Phoebe’s clue. Approaching the merge, Brooke sought revenge for previous blindsides while Harry gained a Halting advantage that he never deployed, opting to sacrifice Nick instead.
At the merge, Mokuta members collaborated to vote out the remaining Vakama contestants. Although initially successful in removing key adversaries, divisions surfaced as six contestants began competing independently. Jacqui betrayed Zach but was soon eliminated herself. Brooke’s consecutive immunity wins sparked internal strife but ended at the final four stage. David secured the final immunity challenge and chose to eliminate Moana over Sharn.
During the final Tribal Council, Sharn faced criticism for deceptive tactics and ineffective jury management; meanwhile, David was viewed as both authoritative and charismatic. Emphasizing his strategic mastery and social skills—including simultaneously holding two idols—David was ultimately crowned Sole Survivor with an 8–1 jury vote.
