Despite allegations the network is cracking down on costs, the new coaches are still pocketing a pretty penny for their services.
Per Yahoo Lifestyle, a TV insider claimed that Adam and LeAnn are “receiving between $750,000 and $1.2 million”.
This range is said to be “considerably less” than Rita and Jason.
Meanwhile, Kate is earning “upwards of $500,000” as a coach.
“Talent fees are the biggest expense on a show like this and bringing in stars who are widely known, but not necessarily relevant right now is a good way to cut costs,” the source explained.
How much is Guy Sebastian getting paid as a coach on The Voice Australia?

Details about Guy’s historic pay come after Woman’s Day reported in 2022 that coach salary negotiations had been halted after it was revealed Guy and Jessica were being paid less than Jason and Rita.
“All four coaches are currently on very different pay terms and all of them, particularly Guy, think it’s unfair and unsustainable,” a source alleged at the time.
“After being on the series for some time, he knows it survives on the dynamic and chemistry of the coaches. He’s quietly confident their demands will be met.”
And it seems they have!
