SAS Australia returns for its 2023 season and the recruits have been announced. If you haven’t tuned into SAS Australia previously, the recruits are dealt a series of physical and psychological tests to see how far they can push their limits. These trials are administered by a highly skilled team of ex-Special Forces operatives.
For the first time in the show’s history, the recruits will be travelling offshore. In this season, we can expect tougher tests and even more challenging conditions as the contestants will work their way through the Middle East. And regardless of their status in the “outside world” they will eat, sleep and train together as one unit.
Let’s meet the 14 new recruits:
Abbey Holmes, 32 – AFL Field Commentator

Anthony Mundine, 47 – World Champion Boxer

Boyd Cordner, 30 – Retired NRL Star

Cassie Sainsbury, 28 – Convicted Drug Smuggler

Dr Craig Challen, 57 – Thai Cave Rescue Hero

Craig McLachlan, 57 – Actor

Jason Akermanis, 46 – AFL Hall of Famer

Lindy Klim, 45 – Balinese Princess

Mahalia Murphy, 29 – International Rugby Star

Matthew Mitcham, 35 – Olympic Gold Diver

Peter Bol, 29 – Olympic Runner

Stephanie Rice, 34 – Olympic Gold Swimmer

Tim Robards, 40 – OG Bachelor

Zima Anderson, 25 – Actress
