The SVNS World Series heads west as Perth prepares to host their first event at HBF Park on January 26-28.
The Australians will be looking to put on a show after a pair of finals appearances in Cape Town.
However, the competition has never been stronger as 12 men's and women's teams converge on Western Australia for the three-day event.
The Australia Men have been drawn alongside Ireland, Great Britain and the USA in Pool B for the third leg of the World Series.
New Zealand finds themselves in the 'Pool of Death', drawn alongside Fiji, Samoa and France in Pool C whilst Series leaders Argentina are in Pool A along with Dubai winners South Africa, Canada and Spain.
Tim Walsh's Women's side will be in Pool A alongside Canada, Great Britain and South Africa. Cape Town runners up France will take on Fiji, Brazil and Spain in Pool B as defending Olympic champions New Zealand face USA, Ireland and Japan in Pool C.
The Pool action will get underway on January 26, with finals kicking off on January 27 before the gold medal match on the following day.
Every game will be live on Stan Sport, with final tickets still available for purchase.
