As per "Love Island USA", the Islanders have to couple up in order to survive the evictions and bag the $50,000. Well, that's the concept. The actual point of this franchise is to depress anybody over the age of 24 while giving them the chance to bitch about the beautiful young things running around getting off, hooking up with and betraying each other relentlessly.
But it's not all fun and games, unless you're Steph or Sophie, designated 'Love Gods' with the power to break up any couple, anytime. The real drama in the show comes when the islanders plot to see one of their own excommunicated.
A real relationship breaks out on occasion, but that's despite the format of this addictive series. You can learn more in our guide to how to watch "Love Island Australia" season 6 online and from anywhere in the world. Scroll down for the full list of contestants.

'Love Island Australia' season 6 cast
Meet the cast of "Love Island Australia" season 6:
Taylor – Week 1 Bombshell
From: VIC
Age: 28
Occupation: Stevedore
Taylor was one of the standouts on Channel 9's The Summit earlier this year.
Living in Melbourne, he works on the docks as a stevedore, which has a tough-guy job stereotype, but he has a heart of gold.
Growing up as a keen sportsman, he excelled in rugby league and moved from the Gold Coast to Melbourne to be part of the Melbourne Storm NRL development squad. He ended up losing his passion for the sport at the high level and turned his eye to other things, including part-time modeling.
After filming The Summit, Taylor's three-year relationship ended. While it might be hard to let down his guard again so soon, Taylor knows he is ready.
He will go into the Villa as the first male Bomb, and he will immediately turn heads.
Eilisha
From: QLD
Age: 25
Occupation: Support Worker
Fiery and full of life, Eilisha always has something to say and isn't afraid to say it. But while she might be the loudest in the group, she is a softie at heart.
She moved to Brisbane five years ago from Sydney and loves the lifestyle in the Sunshine State. Eilisha has never struggled to get a boyfriend. In fact since she was 14 she has barely been out of a relationship. She broke up with her last boyfriend just over six months ago, after he broke her trust.
Elisha wants nothing more than to find a man, settle down, and have kids. Love Island Australia might be an unconventional place to find that, but if there's a man with muscles, she's ready to make it work.
Xanthe
From: NSW
Age: 21
Occupation: Property Stylist
Cute AF, Xanthe applied for Love Island Australia not expecting to get on, so when she got the call she was overjoyed.
Xanthe lives in Sydney with her father and sister, and comes from a large and supportive family.
Her mother is of Malaysian/Chinese background, while her father is Lebanese/Australian.
She has had one serious relationship with an older man that fizzled out – they broke up last December. She is looking for a tall and confident man who can laugh, a man who isn't shy or afraid to say what he wants.
Xanthe adores her job as a property stylist and can see herself doing it for years.
In her spare time she doesn't mind having a go at figure skating, since discovering it on TikTok.
Mimi
From: NSW
Age: 25
Occupation: Creative and Model
Mimi grew up in Wellington, New Zealand, before moving to London and eventually settling in Sydney.
Bold and ambitious, she runs a fashion label called EFFN with her ex-boyfriend. They split up two years ago but now have a healthy working relationship. The label has 80,000 followers on Instagram.
Mimi is a former professional dancer who trained at the famous Brent Street studio in Sydney. She has taken this love of dance to TikTok, gaining 215,000 followers.
Mimi has dated professional athletes, including a former rugby league player, whom she had a "situationship" with.
In the Villa she is looking for a strong man who loves a confident and ambitious girl.
Em
From: NSW
Age: 26
Occupation: Model and Content Creator
Full of energy and life, Em is set to make a real impact in the Villa.
She grew up outside the NSW town of Kempsey, left home at 18, and spent a couple of years in Canada. After moving back to Australia just before COVID lockdowns Em eventually found herself in Sydney.
Work-wise, she says she does a bit of everything, from content creating to modelling, which she loves. She has also worked as a restaurant manager and social media manager for a hair salon.
Em is ready for love but will be looking for that emotional connection first over a physical one when she enters the Villa. Outside of work, she has a black belt in karate and is a keen snowboarder.
Hannah
From: VIC
Age: 24
Occupation: Nursing Student
Of all the cast it's Hannah who had her mind set on making it into the Villa on Love Island Australia.
Since the age of 18 she has been told by family and friends that she'd be perfect for the show, and she agrees!
Hannah might look like a typical "blonde bimbo with fake everything", but she is nothing like that stereotype.
Hannah, a student nurse who also works as a part-time lash technician, finds the Melbourne dating scene tough. She is old-fashioned and wants to get to know a man who isn't obsessed with Instagram.
Niko
From: NSW
Age: 28
Occupation: Builder
Our resident buffed builder lives in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs with his parents, he's ready to move out as soon as he finds his perfect girl.
Niko's heritage is Greek. His grandparents were born in Greece and family is incredibly important to him. He has his own building business and sometimes works seven days a week.
In recent years he got seriously into the gym, and could be described as Love Island Australia's first Greek god. He loves spending a couple of hours in the gym after a busy day at work, but always finds time for girls.
He had his heart broken by one of his exes who cheated on him. After that he went on a dating spree, and he has no trouble meeting or conversing with women. Sometimes he might have three dates a week.
Dylan
From: NSW
Age: 25
Occupation: Construction Worker
Our hot Irish hunk, Dylan has a heart of gold and is easy on the eye.
He arrived in Australia last year and fell in love with the place, and if things work out, he would like to build a future here with a wife. He loves an Aussie accent and Australian women, as they are so forward and bold.
Dylan grew up in a small town in rural Ireland and has a Nigerian father and Irish mother. With all the tatts he might look like a bad boy, but that couldn't be further from the truth. He knows people might judge a book by its cover, but Dylan describes himself as a down-to-earth fella who isn't scared of a relationship. In fact, he thrives on it.
He drives a truck in the construction business, but his main love is fitness and he hopes to work as a coach down the track.
"Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would end up on Love Island Australia. I'm so thankful for the opportunity," he said
Zane
From: QLD
Age: 24
Occupation: Civil Construction Worker
Tall, muscular with tattoos and handsome, Zane looks like a heartthrob, but underneath he has a sweetness about him the girls will swoon after.
Living on the Gold Coast, he has no problems picking up, but hasn't found that perfect girl. Super sporty, Zane played rugby league at a top level for years before giving up in 2022 after it became too demanding.
He is a qualified plumber who works in civil construction and is studying to be a personal trainer, which is not surprising if you look at his biceps.
Zane loves hanging out with the boys on a Friday or Saturday night, but he is ready to change those habits and meet the girl of his dreams in the Villa.
Indigo
From: QLD
Age: 23
Occupation: Sales Manager
When Indigo isn't at the gym or at work, travelling as a sales manager for a 4WD accessory company, you can find him playing sports like golf.
He goes to the gym six times a week – and a little known fact: he can juggle and is a master of the worm.
A gentle giant, Indigo has a big family, with brothers who are very important to him. He's had one serious relationship that ran its course and now he is ready to find the one. If not, he is looking forward to a summer of fun in Mallorca.
With a big smile, he is likely to be very popular in the Villa in Spain.
Kane
From: SA
Age: 23
Occupation: Carpenter
Our resident AFL footy boy, Kane is always smiling and is extremely likable. He doesn't have enemies, he likes to make everyone around him happy.
He has a lovely Aussie charm and won't have any issues making friends with the girls or the boys in the Villa.
Kane lives at home with his family, and has two brothers and two sisters. His mother watches Love Island Australia with one of his sisters, and jokes that she will be watching at all times.
Kane hasn't had a girlfriend before, and while he has played the field, he just hasn't found the right one yet. So he is ready to give love a red-hot crack.
Sophie – Week 1 Bombshell
From: QLD
Age: 22
Occupation: Enrolled Nurse
With a bubbly personality, Sophie is the perfect choice to be our first female Bomb in the Love Island Australia Villa.

Tommy has been a fan of Love Island Australia ever since his ex-girlfriend made him watch a few episodes.
Now very single, he is open to finding love and someone to appreciate his unique sense of humour that makes him so lovable.
