Hall of Fame Inductees
On 14 July 2005, ARIA sought to create a separate standalone 'ARIA Icons: Hall of Fame' event as only one or two acts could be inducted under the old format due to time restrictions. Since 2005 VH1 obtained the righs to broadcast the ceremony live on Foxtel, Austar and Optus networks; and each year five or six acts were inducted into the Hall of Fame with an additional act inducted at the following ARIA Music Awards. The following were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in July:
- Smoky Dawson inducted by Jack Thompson
- The Easybeats inducted by Billy Thorpe
- Renée Geyer inducted by Michael Gudinski
- Hunters & Collectors inducted by Peter Garrett
- Normie Rowe inducted by Ian Meldrum
- Split Enz inducted by John Clarke
Inducted at the October ceremony:
- Jimmy Barnes inducted by Bernard Fanning
