''Australia's Next Top Model'' is an Australian Reality Television show that is broadcast of the Australian subscription television channel FOX8 , carried by Foxtel , Optus Television and Austar . The show is now in its second season.

Aside from the stress of learning the ropes of the business, the finalists had to deal with the ups and downs of "model house" life: tears and tantrums, accusations of fake breasts and allegations of theft. In each episode, the programme's panel of judges, leading fashion designer and former model booker Alex Perry and a number of other people noted in the fashion world, assessed task performance and potential. After each critique, one girl was eliminated and sent home. SERIES 1 The 10 finalist for 2005 were:
