Celebrity Survivor Australia, also referred to as Celebrity Survivor: Vanuatu, is the first and only season of the Seven Network incarnation, and the second season overall, of the Australian reality show Australian Survivor. It was filmed in Éfaté Island, Vanuatu. The premiere aired on Thursday, August 17, 2006.

==Production==
After the failure of the first season of Australian Survivor in 2002, the Seven Network found a loophole in the Channel Nine contract and obtained the rights to produce Celebrity Survivor. The show was filmed on Éfaté Island in Vanuatu. The series was filmed over twenty-five days, from late May to early June 2006.
==Twists==
* Celebrity Cast: This season featured 12 Australian celebrities. The Sole Survivor would win AUD$100,000 for a charity of their choice.
* Tribe Composition: The castaways are divided into tribes of six based on gender: was originally composed of all men and was originally composed of all women. Later on Day 1, Gabrielle Richens and Justin Melvey entered the game on the Kakula and Moso tribes, respectively, making them the sole representatives of their genders on their tribes.
* Extra Tribe Member: For the combined Reward/Immunity Challenge in the first episode, it was revealed that the winning tribe would receive an extra tribe member in the form of Ben Wynn, an ex-S.A.S. soldier and survival expert. As a result, Ben became the only castaway this season to not be a celebrity nor be competing for charity.
* Self Vote: The castaways were able to vote against themselves.
* Tribe Switch: On Day 6, a tribe switch occurred, mixing the final ten into two tribes of five.
* Re-entry: In Episode 10, the three remaining contestants watched on as the four players voted out after the merge then competed for two places back in the game, with those who did not return taking two of the five seats on the jury. The two players who won their places back in the game, Guy and Justin, would go on to be the eventual finalists.
* Jury Tiebreaker: In Episode 11 a tiebreaker occurred between Justin and Nicolle Dickson. When the re-vote ended in a tie past votes came into account. Both castaways had the same amount of past votes so the jury had to decide who would be eliminated. The jury unanimously eliminated Nicolle.
