Celebrity Big Brother was a special celebrity edition of the Big Brother franchise, broadcast over a span of 23 days from 21 July to 12 August 2002. A share of the revenue generated from Eviction voting was donated to various charitable organizations. This marked the sole Celebrity Big Brother iteration produced under the Big Brother Australia format, featuring a slightly updated house design from earlier seasons. The bathroom area remained off-camera throughout the series. No additional celebrity editions were aired on Network 10 before the show's cancellation in 2008.

The series saw a revival on the Nine Network between 2012 and 2014. Following the conclusion of the 2014 civilian season, Nine contemplated bringing back Celebrity Big Brother for 2015, a plan confirmed by host Sonia Kruger; however, this revival was ultimately replaced by Celebrity Apprentice Australia. Later, a third reboot by Seven Network introduced the second celebrity-focused season titled Big Brother VIP.

Throughout the season, several guest celebrities made brief appearances without officially joining as housemates, including Carla Bonner (known for her role in Neighbours) and Bert Newton. Notably, Warwick Capper was removed from the house due to inappropriate behavior during a confrontation with fellow contestant Kimberley Cooper.
