Wallabies coach Dave Rennie has confirmed the 36-man squad for the upcoming Rugby Championship and Bledisloe Cup fixtures against New Zealand.
95-Test back Kurtley Beale has been selected in his first squad since the 2021 Spring Tour, after recovering from a significant hamstring injury sustained in France earlier this year.
Cadeyrn Neville is the only other new inclusion from the group that played South Africa, the Brumbies lock recovering from a knee injury sustained in the side's second Test against England in July.
He replaces Japan-bound Rory Arnold who is unavailable for the matches due to the impending birth of his first child.
The rest of the squad remains unchanged with winger Marika Koroibete in line to play his 50th Test in Melbourne, a city he represented on the Super Rugby stage on 69 occasions.
Queensland Reds fullback Jock Campbell and NSW Waratahs backrower Langi Gleeson are the only two uncapped players in the group.
The first Test will be held at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne next Thursday, the first Bledisloe Cup match in Victoria since 2010, before a return clash at Auckland's Eden Park on September 24.
Wallabies coach Dave Rennie said: “It's great to be able to keep the core of our group together and welcome Cadeyrn back to the mob, while we wish Rory all the best for what's an incredibly exciting time for him and his family."
"Kurtley is a welcome return to the squad after recovering from a long-term injury and will bring his passion for the jersey along with his wealth of experience at Test level.
"We know how important these next two Tests are with silverware on the line and we'll be expecting a response after the disappointment of last weekend's loss."
