Davies has been picked to run twice in the English city of Birmingham, contesting the women's 5000 and 10,000 metre events.
The latest squad members were announced by Athletics Australia on Tuesday morning.
Davies, 22 from Merewether, has most recently been based in Europe after a brief stint in the US.
Her overseas travel followed the national championships in Sydney a few months ago.
She defended her Zatopek crown in Victoria in January.
Davies, coached by Scott Westcott, made her Olympic debut in Tokyo last year.
Newcastle wheelchair athlete Christie Dawes already had a spot in this year's Commonwealth Games team, listed to race the women's T54 marathon and 1500m.
