The Australian team consisted of 43 athletes (21 men and 22 women), competing in 10 sports. This marked a decrease of seven athletes from 2018.[3] Alpine skier Madison Hoffman was selected but withdrew due to an ACL injury.[4] Brendan Kerry and Laura Peel were the country's flagbearers during the opening ceremony.[5] Freestyle skier Sami Kennedy-Sim was the closing ceremony flagbearer.[6][7]

The use of Simplified Chinese stroke count placed it third-from-last in the Parade of Nations before the host nation of the next Winter Olympics (Italy) and the host nation (China) as it takes sixteen (16) strokes to write the first character (澳) of its Chinese name, more than any other participating country.

On 12 February, Jaclyn Narracott's silver medal in women's skeleton gave Australia its fourth medal at the games, breaking the nation's record for total medals won at a single Winter Olympics. This would again be broken in the 2026 Winter Olympics.
