Kate McLoughlin will lead Australia's Paralympic team in Tokyo after overseeing a successful campaign at last year's Rio Games.
Three years out from the 2020 Games, McLoughlin has been re-appointed chef de mission on the back of a top-five finish in Rio.
"More than anything, I am looking forward to building on the progress we made together during the Rio campaign," McLoughlin said in a statement.
"In the lead-up to Rio 2016, the Australian Paralympic team created a supportive culture that bred success.
"As chef, my job will be to further develop our strengths to generate an even more inclusive, athlete-centric and elite focus to once again achieve our goal."
