Renovation Rescue is an Australian TV show capitalising on Australia's love affair with home renovation. It's the same idea of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, but with a few differences:
- The renovation only takes two days, not a full week.
- Instead of waking up the family by bellowing through a megaphone, they simply knock on the door (or if there is one, they ring a doorbell).
- No bus (or other vehicle) covers the house when the family returns home.
- There is no "secret room" in the household when under renovation.
The series showed a group of people of all trades renovating a house in just two days. The show was presented by three hosts, Rebecca Harris, Scott Cam and Peter Everett. Scott would always have a celebrity apprentice in the show such as Rozz Switzer who appeared on the show's first season when they did up the house of a retired firefighter and his family.
