Cycle one of Australia's Next Top Model began airing on 11 January 2005 on Fox8. The ten contestants from around the country chosen for the competition converged in Sydney, where they spent eight weeks sharing an inner city apartment while competing for the title of Australia's Next Top Model. The series finale was held in Melbourne.
The prizes for winning the first cycle of Australia's Next Top Model included a modelling contract with Chic Model Management, an all-expenses paid trip to Milan to meet with Italian modeling agency Fashion, an eight-page editorial in Cleo magazine, and a national campaign for Napoleon cosmetics.
The winner of the competition was 22-year-old Gemma Sanderson from Newcastle.

The 10 aspiring models met Erika Heynatz and Alex Perry for a runway show in front of an audience. After moving into their new apartment, the contestants were briefed on the importance of fitness and healthy eating. They were later introduced to the Sydney social scene at an A-List cocktail party, and received waxes in preparation for a bikini shoot on the beach.
The models received a horse riding lesson before heading over to a dance studio to learn how to walk on the runway. The winner of the lesson was chosen to meet Miss Universe, Jennifer Hawkins. The contestants later took part in a horseback photo shoot.
The contestants received makeovers at the Joh Bailey salon, and were shot in pairs at a Manor in Sydney wearing lingerie. They later took part in an exercise and makeup challenge.
The contestants received acting and pole dancing lessons, later followed by an acting challenge. While the winners of the challenge attended a launch party, the losers shot a commercial for Venus. One of the models opted to drop out of the competition, and the remaining contestants took part in a spider beauty shoot.
The models learned about body movement and language, before receiving tips on their runway walks and poses. They learned salesmanship skills in an interview, and one contestant revealed that she suffered from depression. The contestants took part in a runway show for the media, and had interviews with Cleo magazine editor Nedahl Stelio. The girls later arrived at Circular Quay for an intimate photo shoot with Olympic swimmer Geoff Huegill.
