The grand finale was prerecorded in April 2021, with four different endings being taped. The show was broadcast on 12 September 2021 with the winner, Bella Taylor Smith, being decided by a viewer poll. Smith’s victory marked Guy Sebastian’s first and only win as a coach. For the first time, an artist that had a coach blocked in his/her blind auditions (Guy Sebastian blocking Jessica Mauboy) went on to win an entire Australian season.[6]
In the blind auditions this season the coaches complete their teams without a specific number of members. Also, each coach can block another two times; however, the coach who is blocked is unable to pitch for the artist.

In the Cut (filmed in the day after the blind auditions), each artist must immediately face their coach to prove their star power. The coaches divide their teams in groups of a specific theme and the contestants battle it out singing the same song. Each coach can only take five artists through to the Knockouts.
In the knockouts, each artist must perform to their coach. After each act performs, the coaches have three options: to either send the artist straight to the semi-final, send the artist home, or make a decision at the end of the show when all artists have performed. Each coach can only take two artists through to the semis.[8]

The Semi-finals episode was first broadcast on 5 September 2021. At the end of the episode, the coaches were allowed to take one artist each through to the Grand Finale.
The Grand Finale was broadcast on 12 September 2021. Each artist performed a solo song and a duet with their coach. Similar to last season, this was the only episode of the season where the results were determined by public vote and not by the coaches. With Bella Taylor Smith winning, this marks Guy's first win on The Voice.
