The Kookaburras have backed up last month's Oceania Cup triumph by defeating New Zealand 2-1 to claim the International Festival of Hockey title on Sunday night.
Jake Whetton and Blake Govers scored the goals as the home side defeated the Black Sticks for the sixth consecutive time, although George Muir's 49th minute goal ensured a tense conclusion.
The second-ranked Kookaburras had to wait until late in the first half at Melbourne's State Netball and Hockey Centre to break the deadlock with Whetton powering home a reverse stick effort in the 30th minute.
Govers doubled Australia's advantage with a trademark drag flick high into the back of the net from a 38th minute penalty corner.
New Zealand heaped on the pressure in the final quarter, with Muir scoring, before captain Jared Panchia hit the post.
"They came out really tough. They showed why they're such a good team," Whetton said.
"We knew they were going to come at the last bit and it was a good disciplined effort by the boys to stay 2-1 up."
Meanwhile the Hockeyroos trounced the United States 5-0 to secure third place at the event.
The Australians bounced back strongly after the disappointment of missing the women's final when beaten 3-2 by Japan on Saturday.
Brooke Peris scored twice in a four-goal third-quarter onslaught against the Americans in Sunday's playoff for third place.
The result ensured the Hockeyroos finished with a 2-2 record ahead of this week's Test series against Japan in Adelaide.
Midfielder Jane Claxton admitted they were out to prove a point.
"I think it was a bit of determination. We lost badly yesterday. We got outplayed," Claxton said.
"Today we wanted to prove ourselves and to the rest of the world that we can mix it with a top 10 in the world.
"We don't have World League coming up, but we do have the Japan series, so we wanted a good result leading into that to give us some confidence and get some goals on the board."
