Who Won The Voice Australia 2026? Yung Milla Takes It for Team Melanie C
The gist: Yung Milla won The Voice Australia 2026 on Sunday 27 September, giving Team Melanie C the Season 15 title. The Darwin rapper beat Daisha Auda, Tommy Novak and The 60Four on the public vote and takes home $100,000 plus a Hive Sound Studios recording and development package.
He was named at the end of the finale on Seven and 7plus. Seven didn't name a second, third or fourth place.
Who won The Voice Australia tonight?
Yung Milla, from Team Melanie C. He's 22, a support worker from Darwin, and the only rapper in this year's final four.
New Idea, Who and Pedestrian all reported the result within the hour, and the official Voice Australia YouTube channel posted the reveal clip the same night. "I just can't believe it. I'm just so grateful," he said on stage, as quoted by TV Tonight and SBS NITV.
What did Yung Milla sing in the grand finale?
Two big moments. His solo was a reworked take on 2Pac's "Changes", and his coach duet was Melanie C's own "Never Be The Same Again", with his own rap worked into it. Who singled out that duet in its report on the win.
| Finalist | Coach | Finale solo | Coach duet | Placing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yung Milla | Melanie C | "Changes" (2Pac) | "Never Be The Same Again" | Winner |
| Daisha Auda | Kate Miller-Heidke | "Together Again" (Janet Jackson) | "Angel" (Sarah McLachlan) | not announced |
| Tommy Novak | Richard Marx | "Horses" (Daryl Braithwaite) | "Summer of '69" (Bryan Adams) | not announced |
| The 60Four | Ronan Keating | "Die With A Smile" (Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars) | a New Kids on the Block song | not announced |
The other placings are blank because none were announced. TV Tonight reported that multiple endings were filmed ahead of the viewer vote, with no runner-up, third or fourth place named on air.
How did Yung Milla get to the final?
He was a four-chair turn from the first night he sang. We've pieced his run together from the coverage below, and it's a tidy arc for a performer who never looked like a safe pick for a singing show.
| Stage | When | What happened |
|---|---|---|
| Blind audition | mid-August | Sang "All My Life", an original written by his brother J-MILLA. All four coaches turned; Melanie C blocked Richard Marx to get him. |
| Semi-final | Sun 20 Sept | "Down Under" with didgeridoo and his own rap. Melanie C sent him through on her pick. |
| Grand finale | Sun 27 Sept | "Changes" solo, "Never Be The Same Again" with his coach. Won the public vote. |
TV Blackbox reported in August that Melanie C called his audition "world class". Two of his three big nights leaned on a rap verse he'd written himself, and that's what set him apart.
What does Yung Milla win?
$100,000 in cash and an all-inclusive recording and development package from Hive Sound Studios. Pedestrian and New Idea list the same prize, and it matches the prize listed before the show.
Asked what he'd do with the money, he told Who he'd "spend it on my family and my professional development". SBS NITV reported on 28 September that his next track, "Lethal", was due out on 7 October, and Ngaarda Media reported on 8 October that the single was out.
Who went out at the semi-final?
Charlotte June, Leyla Sabo, Taylor Beadle-Williams and Tika Cetinich were cut on Sunday 20 September, when the coaches chose one singer each. Our 20 September file has that night, and the finale preview covers the vote rules and running times.
The full shape of the season, from the quarter-finals on, is in our Voice finals guide.
Is The Block on after The Voice?
Not on Sunday 27 September. Nine had the Wallabies v Springboks Test, so the Rumpus and Laundry Reveal moved to Monday 28 September at 7.31pm AEST. Here's why Sunday went missing, and the line-up for the week of 28 September has the four Block nights plus the daylight saving switch on 4 October.
The last scores we logged were from Kitchen Week; our 16 September results page shows how the room ladder looked before that. Big Brother began on Monday 26 October on 10, and our Big Brother guide has the sources for that date.
