Several will also be based in Townsville, using the NRL club Cowboys' Centre of Excellence alongside three other venues.
For NSW, they will use the NSWRL Centre of Excellence, which the Wallabies use regularly during their January camps, along with Jubilee Stadium in Kogarah. Two further venues have also been confirmed for Newcastle in the form of Uni of Newcastle and No. 2 Sportsground
The announcement also highlights a distinct Western Sydney presence, including Eric Tweedale Stadium and the Parramatta Eels Community Centre of Excellence.
Meanwhile, South Australia will have four separate venues, including Norwood Oval and St Peter's College.
