Australia was drawn to compete in the second semi-final, which took place on 15 May 2025. Performing during the show in position 1, Australia was not announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Australia placed 11th out of the 16 participating countries in the semi-final with 41 points.
The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) invited SBS to participate in the contest representing Australia for the first time in 2015, as a guest participant to celebrate the 60th edition of the event, being granted automatic entry into the final along with the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom) and the host country (Austria).[3] It had since competed in every edition of the contest, i.e. nine times, being required to qualify from its semi-final since 2016. In 2024, it entered the song "One Milkali (One Blood)" by Electric Fields, which failed to qualify for the final, ending in 11th place in the first semi-final with 41 points.[4]
Before Eurovision
Internal selection
On 25 February 2025, SBS announced that it had internally selected the Australian entrant and entry for the contest, and revealed them that day: the entrant was Go-Jo with the song "Milkshake Man". The song was written by Go-Jo alongside Amy Sheppard, George Sheppard, and Jason Bovino, all current or former members of the band Sheppard, which competed in the first edition of Eurovision – Australia Decides in 2019 with "On My Way".[5]
At Eurovision
The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 took place at St. Jakobshalle in Basel, Switzerland, and consisted of two semi-finals held on the respective dates of 13 and 15 May and the final on 17 May 2025.[6] During the allocation draw held on 28 January 2025, Australia was drawn to compete in the second semi-final, performing in the first half of the show.[7] Go-Jo was later drawn to open the semi-final.[8] At the end of the show, the country was not announced among the 10 qualifiers, and Australia did not qualify for the final.[9]
Each participating broadcaster assembles a five-member jury panel consisting of music industry professionals who are citizens of the country they represent. Each jury, and individual jury member, is required to meet a strict set of criteria regarding professional background, as well as diversity in gender and age. No member of a national jury was permitted to be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently.[12] The individual rankings of each jury member as well as the nation's televoting results were released shortly after the grand final.
The following members comprised the Australian jury:[13]
