Over 45s team members Kyme Rowe and Teri Burke and 35s co-captain Rosie Ballard will chase gold in the tournament on the Gold Coast from September 26 until October 5.

The trio all scored silver in last year's championships and have a bigger desire to perform with this year's tournament acting as part of the selection for the Australian masters teams, which will head to the 2020 World Cup in England and South Africa.

Ballard, 38, said the perfect way to stamp her claim for selection was through the efforts of her Victorian side.

"My focus is on the team and getting them together because if we play well it gives everyone in the Victorian team the best chance to gain selection," she said.

Rowe, 46, said getting a taste of an Australian masters team experience at the Trans-Tasman Challenge earlier this year would drive her to new levels at the upcoming championships.

Burke has had her fair share of injuries this season, which has restricted the preparation for her eighth Australian Masters Championship in a row.

"I have been to one (training session) as a spectator but will attend my first as a team member this week," the 46-year-old said.

"Unfortunately due to an injury I have had an interrupted start. I tweaked my right hamstring and I'm starting to get on top of it."

The left-back said the enjoyment of playing at national level was what drew her back year after year.

"I enjoy it so much and it's not hard to find momentum to keep going back," she said.

"I found it a good way to connect with people I used to play with years ago when I lived in Melbourne and have made many new friends along the way."

The trio flies to the Gold Coast on Wednesday.
