A complete list of every Australian athlete and team to compete at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

Australia boast of a proud Olympic legacy, having secured medals at all 30 editions of the modern Summer Games to date.

The number of Australian athletes at the Summer Olympics has also steadily increased over the past few editions and so has the tally of Olympic medals won by Australia.

At Tokyo 2020, the Australian Olympic Team comprised 486 athletes, the second-largest for the country after the Sydney Olympics.

At the Paris 2024 Olympics, Australia’s contingent comprised over 460 athletes, who competed in 33 sports. It was the third largest Australian contingent to compete at a Games held overseas, behind Tokyo 2020 (486) and Athens 2004 (482).

More than half of the Australian team was represented by women, a stark contrast to Paris 1924 when no women were part of the Australian team.

Equestrian Shane Rose, 51, was the oldest member of the 2024 Australian Olympic team while skateboarder Arisa Trew was the youngest at just 14.

Ten Indigenous athletes also represented Australia with Patty Mills the first five-time Indigenous Olympian and Conor Nicholas being Australia’s first Indigenous sailing Olympian.

Australia’s Olympic athletics team for Paris 2024 included high jumpers Nicola Olyslagers, a Tokyo 2020 silver medallist and 2022 world champion Eleanor Patterson.

Tokyo 2020 bronze medallist Harry Garside led Australia’s 12-member boxing team.

Jessica Fox returned to Paris 2024 in a bid to add to her four Olympic medals. The Australian canoeist won the gold medal in the women’s C1 event at Tokyo 2020. She bagged silver at London 2012 and bronze medals at Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 in the K1 events. Fox competed in both C1 and K1 events in Paris and won the gold medals.

Australia's Paris 2024 team for swimming, the sport which has yielded the most medals for the country at the Olympics to date, was announced following the national trials in June.

Australia also made Olympic debuts in breaking along with new disciplines – kayak cross, mixed team race walk, men’s and women’s kiteboarding events and mixed 470 sailing. Australian women also competed for the first time in basketball 3x3.
