MasterChef Australia is ushering in a brand-new era in 2024 with twenty-two eager contestants who are being put through their culinary paces by Andy Allen and three new judges.
The home cooks have entered the infamous kitchen, ready to test their skills, hoping to be the last chef standing while battling it out with a bevvy of new Pressure Tests, Elimination Challenges and all-in group tasks.

While Andy has returned to carry on Jock Zonfrillo’s legacy, alumnus Poh Ling Yeow, food critic and journalist Sofia Levin, and multi–Michelin Star award-winning chef, Jean-Christophe Novelli have also joined the cast.
The new series promises a “fusion of familiarity and novelty as both fresh faces and beloved alumni come together, crafting a reimagined family steeped in gastronomic excellence.”
So, who is in the cast? Scroll through to meet the MasterChef Australia 2024 contestants!
