Australia is competing at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris from 26 July to 11 August 2024. Australian athletes have appeared in every Summer Olympic Games of the modern era, alongside France, Great Britain, Greece, and Switzerland. As Brisbane will stage the 2032 Summer Olympics, Australia and the United States, the next nation to host the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, will march before the homebound French team enters Place du Trocadéro during the parade of nations segment of the opening ceremony.

Slalom canoeist Jessica Fox and veteran field hockey player Eddie Ockenden, both Olympic multi-medallists, were selected to lead the country's opening ceremony flag-bearers.[2]
