They have made steady improvement since 2000, including an appearance at the London 2012 Games. However, they more recently missed out on qualification for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, after finishing fifth at the World Olympic Qualification Tournament in Japan.
Australia finished fifteenth at 2014 FIVB World Championship, after reaching the second round in Poland. It was Australia's best placing in six World Championship appearances.
Australia first joined the FIVB World League in 1999, following which it took them 15 years to return. They finished ninth in 2014 and qualified got promoted to Group 1 in 2015, when they took on Brazil, Serbia and Italy but failed to progress to the Final Six in Rio.
