Australian Paralympic team co-captain Daniela Di Toro and history-maker Melissa Tapper are among the first athletes to be selected for the Rio Games.
The table tennis team will be spearheaded by five-time Paralympian Di Toro and Tapper, who is set to become the first Australian athlete to compete in both an Olympic and Paralympic team in the same year.
They'll join Paralympic first-timers Samuel von Einem, Barak Mizrachi and Andrea McDonnell.
Di Toro will make her para-table tennis debut after switching from wheelchair tennis a year ago due to injury.
Di Toro has competed in wheelchair tennis at every Games since Atlanta in 1996.
"I never thought I'd make six games in a row in two different sports, and this one as a genuine rookie but also as captain is special," she said.
Di Toro said she's privileged to have Tapper on board.
"I'm looking forward to watching her smash it up along with the rest of our profoundly talented Australian team."
For Tapper, who was born with nerve damage in her right arm, selection means a second chance at Paralympic glory.
The 26-year-old missed out on a podium finish at the London 2012 Paralympics after losing the bronze medal to China's Lei Fan.
"Because of my loss in London, I ended up going away and working harder," she said.
"Going for my second Games has been a huge motivator to getting me to where I am today."
Tapper is currently ranked fourth in the world in Class 10.
Following the London 2012 Paralympics, Tapper qualified for the 2014 Commonwealth Games with the Australian able-bodied team.
"In the four years in between, I've definitely developed and grown as an athlete, and I'm looking forward to seeing all the hard work pay off in Rio," she said.
"I'm aiming for gold."
The Victorian also booked her ticket to the Olympics at the Oceania qualifying competition in Bendigo last month.
The team will be hoping to break a 32-year medal drought at Rio, Paralympic chef de mission Kate McLoughin said.
Australia has won seven medals in table tennis at the Paralympics, but the last one came way back in 1984.
"This is the largest number of table tennis players who have qualified for many years so I'm excited to see what these five athletes can achieve together," she said.
