Rising stars Maurice Longbottom and Tim Anstee will return to the Aussie men's side for Hong Kong.
Longbottom hurt his hamstring in the Sydney 7s in February while Anstee injured his ankle in Dubai.
Lachie Miller will come into the side for the iconic tournament as well, in just his third career cap.
Aussie men's Sevens coach Tim Walsh said the duo's return would be handy for the side, who have struggled for consistency.
“Sevens leaves little margin for error and our errors in recent tournaments have cost us dearly," he said.
"We can control how we prepare for our next match and tournament. We learn from our experiences and prepare to play without regret and without fear.
“The squad, as always, has worked hard since returning from the North America leg and we’ve made some changes to the team to adjust for our plans accordingly.
“Bringing two quality players like Maurice Longbottom and Tim Anstee back is really exciting for the whole group and we know how dangerous they can be.
“This round is a real opportunity for this squad and the team is looking forward to the challenge.”
The Aussies sit sixth in the World Series rankings with four legs left of the 2018-19 World Series.
Australia will take on New Zealand, Fiji and Kenya in the pool stages in Hong Kong, kicking off on Friday April 5.
