The inductees include Gurrumul (posthumously), Jenny Morris, Kate Ceberano, Spiderbait, The Living End, and Vika and Linda Bull. ARIA typically inducts one artist annually, but elevated six to top-tier status for this milestone year. The honorees represent diverse genres and eras of Australian music, from The Living End's 1990s rock prominence to Kate Ceberano's four-decade career spanning five consecutive decades with top 10 albums. Gurrumul, an Indigenous icon from Elcho Island who died in 2017, becomes only the second Australian performer to be inducted into the Hall of Fame twice, having previously joined with Yothu Yindi in 2012.
