Commonwealth Games selections
The Commonwealth Games qualifying period ends on 12 June after the Oceania Championships. After the close of the qualifying period Athletics Australia’s selectors will select a team of just 68 athletes in able body events based on the quota provided by Commonwealth Games Australia, with the aim to “nominate the strongest possible team to produce the highest overall results at the Commonwealth Games.” Full detail of the nomination process is outlined in Athletics Australia’s Nomination Policy, last updated on 6 May, and includes processes for automatic selections, places for 6 developing athletes, and then final nominations to fill the team quota.
