History

has usually been sending its representative to compete at the Miss Grand International since 2013. In 2013–2014, the license belonged to Nadasha Zhang, and was transferred to Renera Thompson in 2015, then to Dani Fitch and Amber Dew in 2017 and 2023, respectively.
The first contest of Miss Grand Australia was held in parallel with Miss Supranational Australia in 2014, featuring 19 national finalists, of which "Renera Thompson" was named the winner. Thompson later participated in Miss Grand International 2014 in Thailand, where she was elected the third runner-up. Later in 2016, the contest was also held in parallel with Miss Supranational Australia, however, after the license was purchased by Dani Fitch in the following year, the Miss Grand Australia pageant has been arranged independently since then.
Since their first participation in 2013, Australian representatives have consistently placed at least among the top 20 finalists, except in 2022. The highest performance was the first runner-up in 2015, obtained by Claire Elizabeth Parker who was later promoted to take over the winner title after the original winner, of the Dominican Republic, had been dethroned. However, Parker was later delegitimized from the position in 2019 due to partaking in Miss Universe Australia 2019.
