Parents Debbie and Paul Innes and children Rose, 10, and Patrick, 8, will head to Wagga for the event from September 26-30.
The biennial competition will involve more than 550 archers from 15 countries.
The Innes’s qualified by competing in sanctioned events over the past two years including state and national titles.
Paul placed second at the 2015 and 2016 nationals and is hoping to continue with his good form.
Debbie recently changed from recurve to compound following a shoulder injury and hoped to improve on recent scores.
Rose broke her wrist earlier this year, but recovered to recently break the Australian record.
Patrick was named Australian and Pacific Region Champion in 2015 and will have some stiff competition from the New Zealanders.
