The first season of the Australian reality talent show The Voice Kids began on 22 June 2014 on Nine Network. The show was hosted by Darren McMullen and The Voice season 1 quarter-finalist Prinnie Stevens served as the backstage correspondent. The winner received a music and education scholarship worth $50,000 and a record deal with Universal Music. Former Spice Girls member Mel B, Delta Goodrem, The Madden Brothers were the coaches.
Each team of singers were mentored and developed by their coach. In the second stage, coaches had three of their team members battle against each other by singing the same song, with the coach choosing which one team member to advance. The third stage featured the remaining five artists from each team competing against each other in the Sing-offs, with the coach eliminating three artists from their team to form the team's final two. The remaining six artists then competed against each other in the Grand Finale, which the television audience helps to decide the winner of the The Voice Kids.
On 10 August 2014, Alexa Curtis of Team Delta was announced as the winner of the season, with Bella Yoseski of Team Madden and Maddison Brooke of Team Mel as runners-up.
On 26 November 2013, it was announced that Delta Goodrem and Joel Madden, who were the coaches from the adult version of the show, had signed on as the first two coaches. Goodrem announced her departure from the adult version of the show to focus on her music career, but decided to join The Voice Kids as it "allows her the time to continue working on the show, and to focus on new music". In her announcement, she also revealed that Joel would be joining her in the show. On 1 February 2014, Nine Network revealed that former Spice Girls member Mel B and Good Charlotte's Benji Madden were the final two coaches for the series. Benji would team up with his brother Joel on the show.
