Oi! Australia's Song for EuSC 06 was the first edition of the contest that will select Australia's entry for the Europa Song Contest 6. The selection had 4 semis, 1 second chance round, and a final. Delta Goodrem won the edition with the song "The River". Troye Sivan, the third placer, is to be the Australian spokesperson for the Europa Song Contest 6.
Information[]
Australia has always been following the contest since the very first edition in Bulgaria. However, for obvious reasons and despite previous attempts, Australia wasn't allowed to participate. SBS has always broadcast the contest, sometimes live, sometimes on delay. After receiving a special invitation from the EBU to participate in the Europa Song Contest, SBS automatically took charge in being the official broadcaster for the Europa Song Contest.

SBS announced that there will be 2 song reveals, with the first one featuring acts for the 1st/2nd semi-finals and the second one featuring acts for the 3rd/4th semi-finals. The songs were revealed in this order:
