- the former award for Rap Recording of the Year was split into two new categories for Rap Album/EP of the Year and Rap Single of the Year,
- the former award for Indigenous Artist or Group of the Year was split into new categories for Contemporary Indigenous Artist of the Year and Traditional Indigenous Artist of the Year,
- the former award for Classical Album of the Year – Solo or Chamber Ensemble was split into separate awards for Classical Album of the Year - Solo and Classical Album of the Year - Small Ensemble, with the award for Classical Album of the Year – Vocal or Choral Performance discontinued since the split meant that category was now fully duplicative of the other classical music categories,
- and a new category was introduced for Underground Dance Single of the Year.
