The event will be hosted by Sky News and The Courier-Mail.
Sky News describes the event as "unscripted" and "unpredictable" as the general public will put the prime minister and the Labor leader to the test.
The event will be moderated by Sky News' political reporter Kieran Gilbert.
When will it begin?
The debate will run on Wednesday 20 April, kicking off at 7pm and will finish up at 8.30pm.

How can I watch it?
The debate is not on free-to-air in the major cities, so you can only watch the broadcast event live in English on Sky News.
SBS will be live-streaming the debate, translated into both Arabic and Mandarin to ensure two of the largest language groups will be able to watch along as both political leaders are grilled on their contested policies.
"By offering the leaders’ debate in Arabic and Mandarin, we hope to ultimately drive an understanding of the key issues, and enable informed participation in this election," SBS Director of Audio and Language Content David Hua said.
