Twists/Changes

 * 55 Day Game: Just like the previous season, this season is filmed for 55 days.
 * Hidden Immunity Idol: Hidden Immunity Idols will be once again available, and abide to the same standard rules from the American version. In addition to idols hidden at the tribes' camp, there is one also hidden at challenges, provided the clue for it has been found. Following the Day 26 Tribal Council, a super idol was hidden in a special location, where one castaway would be sent to, but only has until sunrise to find it. The super idol has two halves: a regular Hidden Immunity Idol, and the other half can be played after the votes are revealed, as well as cancel a Hidden Immunity Idol played at the same Tribal Council this half is played.
 * Moral Dilemma - After the reward challenge on Day 10, a jar of cookies and a bundle of firewood were hidden at the tribe's camps for anyone to find. The choice was to either keep the cookies hidden for the person who found it or to bring back the tribe the bundle of firewood. Jericho Malabonga found the choice on Asaga and chose the cookies, while Mark Herlaar found the choice on Samatau and chose the firewood.
 * Two Tribe Switches: At the Day 20 Tribal Council, the losing tribe would vote out two of their members without knowing both members will switch tribes. In addition, the winning tribe will then nominate two of its members to switch to the opposite tribe the following day. A second switch occurred on Day 27.
 * Exile Beach: Following the Day 20 Tribal Council, the two castaways who were sent to the opposing tribe were exiled until the following day, where they'll officially join their new tribe.
 * Mutiny: At the Day 32 Tribal Council, instead of voting out a member, the losing tribe had an opportunity to mutiny to the winning tribe. However, only one person could take the offer. Peter Conte took the offer and rejoined Samatau.

Trivia

 * This is the first season to consist of two starting tribes with 12 people on each tribe.
 * This is the first Australian Survivor season to include castaways with the same name: Mark Herlaar and Mark Wales.
 * Coincidentally, both were the third person voted out of their tribe.
