Australia at the 2006 Commonwealth Games was 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.

At the 2006 Commonwealth Games, Australia was, as expected, at the top of the medal tally with 221 medals: 84 Gold (a new record), 69 Silver and 68 Bronze.

Australia's overall tally of medals is 1707 medals: 643 Gold, 556 Silver and 508 Bronze.

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