Note(s): The fourth season was intended for release on DVD in Australia on 22 April 2020, however, since the season went on hiatus on Nine Network to make way for extended coverage on COVID-19, the DVD was delayed until June 2020 so that the complete season can be aired on television before it can be released.

It has not yet been announced if or when season 4 will become available on manufacture on demand (MOD) Blu-ray in the United States as the previous three seasons have since been released in that format.
