Season chronology
← Previous Season 4 Next → Season 6

The fifth season of Australian reality television series House Rules began airing on 30 April 2017. ^[1] The series is produced by the team who created the Seven reality show My Kitchen Rules and is hosted by Johanna Griggs.

Applications for the fifth season of House Rules were open between 1 June and 30 July 2016 on the House Rules official network seven website. ^[2] Johanna Griggs announced the series is in pre-production and that she is returning as host for season 5. ^[3] Season 5 was officially confirmed in October 2016. ^[4]

This season of House Rules will consist of new teams renovating each other's homes and further challenges for the ultimate prize of $200,000.

Format Changes

New Judges - This season will introduce two new judges, international design stylist, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and award-winning Australian architect and builder, Drew Heath, who will both be joining Wendy Moore. Judge of previous seasons, Joe Snell, will not be returning. ^{[5] [6]}

Ultimate Prize - The winners of this season will receive the ultimate prize of $200,000, as opposed to all previous seasons where the winners had received a full mortgage payment. ^[7]

Bonus Room - During the Interior Renovations, one team is given the Bonus Room, which has its own rule but has to be finished in the same duration as the renovation. The team has the decision to keep it or give it to another team. The room is a "pass" or "fail" room only judged by the homeowners, meaning if they like it, the team receives 5 bonus points to their total score, but if they do not, they lose 5 points from the total score.

Grand Final - This will be the first season to not have a Live Grand Final, meaning the team with the highest score from the judges will win unlike previous seasons where the winners are decided by a combination of the judges score and the viewers vote.

This season of House Rules introduced six new teams. All teams are from different states in Australia.
