The Wallabies also appointed Chris Thomson as team manager.
Thomson moves into a new role with the ACT Brumbies where he was head of professional rugby and pathways.
He has also worked with Fijian Drua and World Rugby as a high-performance project manager for pathways and player development.
“I know Chris from his time at World Rugby, so he will work very hard behind the scenes to make sure we are well organized from an off-the-pitch perspective,” Schmidt said.
The Wallabies’ first Test of the year takes place against Wales at the Allianz Stadium in Sydney on July 6.
