Australia at the 2006 Commonwealth Games will be represented by Australian Commonwealth Games Association the (ACGA), and abbreviated AUS. Athletes from Australia were given automatic qualification in all sports due to the host status.

Australia first competed at the then-titled British Empire Games in 1930, and is one of only six countries to have sent athletes to every Commonwealth Games.

Australia entered the Melbourne Games as a strong favourite to win the medal tally after having won 207 medals at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester compared to England's 165 and Canada's 116. Its strongest sports are swimming and cycling. As expected, Australia ended the 2006 Commonwealth Games on top of the medal tally with 221 medals, 84 of them gold (a new record).

Jane Saville bore Australia's flag at the opening ceremony whilst Leisel Jones bore the flag during the closing ceremony.
