The World Aquatics Championships will be an important stepping stone for Australian teams on the journey to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

"The 2023 World Championships mark an important milestone for us as we continue to build towards the Paris 2024 Olympic Games," Oberman said.
"For us this year, the World Championships is the pinnacle event, and will be a great opportunity for us to match up against the best teams in the world, 12 months out from the Olympic Games.
"We wanted more out of our World Cup campaign in April, and with the progression we've made as a team since then we know that we're ready to build on that performance.
"The team we have assembled for this World Championships is a great mix of youth and experience, and I have full faith they will represent Australia with pride," he said.
