Bachelor in Paradise Australia is an Australian reality competition series featuring an elimination format, derived from the original U.S. version. As a derivative of both The Bachelor Australia and The Bachelorette Australia, it showcases former participants from these programs. The series, hosted by Osher Günsberg, debuted on Network 10 on 25 March 2018. Produced by Warner Bros. International Television Production, it spanned three seasons comprising 42 episodes in total, with filming taking place in Fiji.

In October 2020, Network 10 declared that the show would not continue into 2021, although there remains a possibility for a future revival.

Plot

The series begins with an unequal number of male and female contestants. During each rose ceremony, the privilege to distribute roses alternates between men and women; those who do not receive roses are eliminated. New contestants frequently arrive weekly, sometimes bringing date cards. The season culminates with several couples deciding whether to continue their relationships beyond Paradise or to part ways.

After Paradise

During season 1, a companion show titled After Paradise aired on 10Play following each rose ceremony, providing audiences with exclusive behind-the-scenes content from Paradise. This program was discontinued in season 2 and replaced by a weekly segment called the Insider Guide, presented by Osher Günsberg.
