About
Get ready to embark on a transformative journey of creativity and resilience when Budget Battlers premieres on Wednesday, December 4, at 8.30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
Hosted by former Block favourites, Jess Eva and Norm Hogan, this groundbreaking new series tackles full-blown makeovers with an unprecedented challenge: transforming four different Aussie homes in four weeks on the tightest budget yet seen on Australian television.
As inflation, soaring living costs and interest rate increases keep the idea of home renovation out of reach for many, Budget Battlers arrives to prove that dreams can still come true – on a budget.
The Budget Battlers team gears up with just $10,000 per home, a group of selfless volunteers and only five working days, to inspire viewers with jaw-dropping transformations, changing the lives of those who need it the most.
