The Amazing Race Australia 6

Production

Network 10 announced the new season at upfronts on 20 October 2021, with a planned air date in the second half of 2022. Daniel Monaghan reaffirmed in February 2022 that filming would proceed internationally as the Omicron surge subsided. Filming began in March 2022. A new twist had two groups of ten teams start separately in Sydney and Melbourne, each unaware of the other, before converging in the next leg; this twist had been used on several seasons of the Israeli edition.

Beau Ryan was spotted in Chefchaouen, Morocco on 5 March 2022. On 20 March, TV Blackbox reported that some crew members had tested positive for COVID-19, requiring Ryan and others to self-isolate while the rest continued filming. Scott Tweedie guest hosted episodes 8–11 as part of a COVID-safe contingency plan. The show travelled to İzmir and Alaçatı, and filming wrapped in April 2022.

The season included first-time visits to Greece, Colombia, Belize and Mexico. The Speed Bump was brought back for teams returning after self-isolating due to COVID-19. Casting began in early November 2021, requiring contestants to be fully vaccinated. Sponsors included Isuzu, UBank, Kathmandu and Merrell.
