Otherwise, a theme is assigned and the contestants must put together a look that fits the theme, which is presented to the judges. If the maxi challenge involves the creation of an outfit, that outfit is presented to the judges in the runway. The contestants walk down a runway presenting outfits. Some challenges became a tradition across seasons, such as the 'Snatch Game' (in which the contestants impersonate celebrities as a parody of Match Game), a ball or a makeover, in which the contestants create drag personas for other people. Other challenges focus on the contestants' ability to present themselves on camera, perform with music, or perform humorously. Contestants are often asked to design and construct a custom outfit, sometimes incorporating unconventional materials. The goal of each maxi challenge involves a new theme and outcome. The final maxi challenge consisted of the queens taking part in an all-singing and all-dancing routine to one of RuPaul's songs. The winner of the maxi challenge also receives a special prize for their win. The requirements of the maxi challenge vary across each episode, and can be individual or group challenges. Though most episodes have a mini challenge, select episodes do not. The winner of a mini challenge is sometimes rewarded with an advantage in the main challenge. One recurring mini challenge is dedicated to 'reading', a drag term for making insulting observations about one's peers for comedic effect, inspired by Paris Is Burning.

For instance, the first mini challenge is a photo shoot with a photographer or RuPaul himself, that includes a special twist (such as being doused with water while in full drag, having a high-powered fan turned on during the shoot, or being photographed while jumping on a trampoline).

Certain mini challenges are repeated from series to series, or repeated from the original American season. In mini challenges, each contestant is asked to perform a different task with varying requirements and time limitations. Each episode follows a format consisting of a mini challenge, a maxi challenge, a runway walk (where the contestants model fashion on a runway, usually with a theme based on the main challenge), the judging panel, a lip sync battle, and the elimination of a contestant. The show uses progressive elimination to reduce the number of drag queens in the competition from the initial field of ten contestants (series 1), down to the final four. For his role as a coach, RuPaul offers guidance to the contestants through each challenge, and as a judge he critiques the queens on their overall performance of the challenge. As the host, RuPaul introduces celebrity guests, announces the challenges the queens will take part in each week, and reveals who will be leaving the competition. Like the American version, RuPaul has several roles within the show, acting as host, coach, and judge. The winner of the second season of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under was Spankie Jackzon. In September 2021, the series was renewed for a second season. The winner of the first season of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under was Kita Mean. The ten drag queens from season one compete for the title of the ' Down Under's first Drag Superstar', a one-year supply of Revolution Beauty Cosmetics, and a cash prize of $30,000. It has been followed by Spanish, Italian, French, Filipino, Belgian, Swedish, and Mexican iterations. RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under is the sixth international adaptation of the American reality competition series RuPaul's Drag Race, following Chilean, Thai, British, Canadian, and Dutch versions. The series is also streaming on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer in the United Kingdom, and broadcast by both Crave and its associated streaming service in Canada.
