Previously held towards the end of each year, the date was moved to early 2024 instead of December 2023, which was designed to bring the Australian ceremony in line with the global awards season and the international awards schedule.[1][2]

In 2024, the previously single award for Best Casting was split by film and television. Awards for comedy were expanded to include Best Acting in a Comedy, Best Comedy Entertainment Program and Best Online Drama or Comedy.

The nominations were announced on 8 December 2023.[1]
