2019 Australian World Swimming Trials
Host city	Brisbane, Queensland
Date(s)	9–14 June

Following Australia's performance at the 2016 Rio Olympics where 29 medals were won and finishing 10th on the medal tally, Swimming Australia announced in the February 2017 that the timing of the selection trials would be modified. Historically, the trials were held in April several months before the Olympics were held. This will be now changed to follow the American model where the trials are held six weeks before.^[2]

A Para Grand Prix will be held in conjunction with the trials on the 13 to 14 June 2019.^[3]
