[3] He had his first call up to the national team in October 2011 in a game against India at the Bunbury Hockey Stadium.

He scored a goal in his debut in the 57th minute, a game Australia won 5–0.

While this squad is not in the top twenty-eight and separate from the Olympic training coach, the Australian coach Ric Charlesworth did not rule out selecting from only the training squad, with players from the Olympic development having a chance at possibly being called up to represent Australia at the Olympics.

The team reached the final for the first time since 2004 but couldn't achieve gold, beaten by Belgium in a shootout.
