Director of Blink and Australian Head of Delegation and TV Paul Clarke stated that Kate's staging has been approved and will be very different from Australia Decides:

“Eurovision 2019 is shaping up to be one of the great ones. We met with producers in Tel Aviv recently, and their ideas for the event will truly make it a global sensation. We got the tick of approval for our staging concept with Kate Miller-Heidke and there are a couple of big surprises in store. It will be very different from the staging at Eurovision - Australia Decides. On the Expo Tel Aviv stage, Kate’s performance will be a truly epic evanescent enchantment. There are a lot of great artists and songs in Semi Final 1, but we totally intend to stand out.”

In SBS's promo Kate has also been featured wearing a different dress and crown (below) - a hint to her Eurovision outfit or not? Only time will tell!
