The Inverell product has been one of the Reds' most consistent performers and was on Sunday one of eight uncapped players named in the squad for next month's camp on the Gold Coast.
The 40-strong squad also includes Reds team-mate and former Gunnedah junior Harry Wilson.
Wallabies coach Dave Rennie said the three day camp is an opportunity to "get the guys together and give them an understanding of expectations" ahead of the three test series against England in July.

"We'll run through IDP's (Individual Development Plan) and make sure everyone's clear on where there game's at, what's their point of difference to keep working on, what are the areas they need to be better to put pressure on us to select them come June," he said.
Campbell was considered unlucky to miss out last year, and has Rennie acknowledged, been "knocking on the door for a while".
"He was close last year," he said.
"We think he's stepped up a bit so keen to get beside him and have a chat around some of those things so he'll go back to the Reds with a real clarity around what we're looking for."
After starting the season at fullback, the 26-year old has started on the wing in recent games but Rennie believes 15 is his best position.
Asked what he liked about Campbell's game, he highlighted his ground coverage, his broken field running and ability to beat the first defender, and his kicking game.
Recently returned NSW Waratah Jed Holloway, Western Force speedster Toni Pulu, Brumbies lock Cadeyrn Neville, Waratahs hooker David Porecki, Brumbies duo Nick Frost and Ryan Lonergan and Waratahs flyhalf Ben Donaldson are the other uncapped players.
The squad is comprised of 15 Brumbies, 10 Waratahs, eight Queensland Reds, four Melbourne Rebels and three from the Western Force.
"The nucleus of this squad has performed well for us over the past couple of years and there are others selected based on strong form and potential," Rennie said.
"Over the past two seasons we've built a foundation we can propel our game from, but we know we have a lot more in us."
