Forty one year old David Cook is Australia's current Pokemon Champion. Having only held held the title for a few months now, he was unable to defeat the current World Champion in this past year's World Championships, only making it into the Championships a few rounds. Because of this he's lost a lot of his fans and many trainers have a new found determination to replace him. Aside from his charities to raise money for small, local farmers, he's been a recluse.

Joshua Carter is the first member of Australia's Elite Four to beat. At forty years old, half of which were spent as an ice trainer, he's very knowledgeable about ice types. Considering his location in the world, this may seem unusual, but he has made it work. He has transformed an ice skating rink that was to be closed down into his own personal gym, and his home, by adding attachments to the building. Not only does his ice skating rink home and gym function for his personal life, but his public life as well. He holds galas on the ice rink for ice type enthusiasts. His functions range from trading events, to educational seminars and much more.

Fifty year old Joseph Rogers is the second member of Australia's Elite Four. An electric type specialist, Rogers is also very interested in how differently the world might have developed without electric type pokemon and man's friendship with them that enabled the progression of electricity based technology. He's well known for his philosophical theories on the relationship between electric pokemon and the development of corresponding technology to interact, capture, and identify pokemon, and how we wouldn't be at a level of technology necessary in order to do this, without electric pokemon, and how, in such a world, it obviously wouldn't be necessary anyway. He's written many books and given many seminars on the complicated topic. He believes his position as electric type specialist in Australia's Elite Four best enables him to continue his research on the matter and plans to fight for his continued stay until he's ready for retirement.

Ruby Eddwards is the third Elite Four member in Australia and the only woman on the team. Currently fifty years old, Edwards has held her position for the last ten years. It is thought by many Australians that she should challenge the significantly younger fourth Elite Four member to be the final challenger on the team, but she's stated many times that she has no interest in this. Edwards is also well known for her interest in ancient jewelry appraisal which she does with her family on the side of her Elite Four member activities. As a ghost type specialist, and daughter of John Edwards, a very acclaimed jewelry appraiser, her interest in this unique field is hardly a surprise to those who know her well.

Adam Lee is the final and youngest of Australia's Elite Four members. Despite his young twenty two years of age, he's highly respected by much of Australia and the other Elite Four members, though there are some that begrudge him for what they perceive as inexperience. As a water type trainer since the tender age of six, Lee has devoted his entire life to get where he is at now. Only having been the latest Elite Four member for a few months, he hasn't yet devoted his new found fame to any particular cause, but he's made it clear that he's doing research to choose something carefully. He sees it as his duty to do so as an Elite Four member.

Australia's Entrance Exams are in early January. They are careful to wrap them up especially quick on years where the World Championships take place, as these are always on January 31st. Australian Regionals take place from mid February through June with the Elite Four Challenge following the Regionals in July.
