Make Me a Supermodel is an Australian reality television series that is based from the successful British TV series of the same title except that men are also allowed to apply. It debuted on the Seven Network on 6 August 2008.[1] It is hosted by the former Miss Universe winner Jennifer Hawkins.[2]

The judges for the program are Martin Walsh, managing director of Chadwick Models and manager and editor of the fashion magazine Marie Claire, Jackie Frank.[3] Tyson Beckford, the co-host of the American edition, was a guest judge and mentor for the first few episodes[4] whilst Travis Fimmel has turned down being a judge for the program.[5]

It was also announced that Tyson Beckford "finished up his MMAS duties after the second episode and may return sometime in the future."[6] He did not return afterward.

The winner of the first series was Rhys Uhlich who beat out Runner-up Shanina Shaik and Second Runner-up Courtney Chircop.

The series was not renewed for a second season.
