With a new coach at the helm, the Wallabies will kick off a tough four-Test spring tour to Europe in November with a re-match with old foe England at Twickenham.
The Australians will cap a demanding year with Tests against England, Italy, Ireland and France, coming after a three-Test tour by the British and Irish Lions plus a further eight internationals - bringing the tally to 15.
Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt announced this month he planned to step down after the six-Test Rugby Championship concludes on October 4 against New Zealand in Perth.
