Stephen Moore will lead the Wallabies to the World Cup after the veteran was announced as the Australian captain on Monday.
Hooker Moore, 32, receives the nod ahead of incumbent skipper Michael Hooper, who has been named vice-captain along with Adam Ashley-Cooper going into the 2015 international season which culminates with the World Cup in England and Wales.
The appointment comes a year after Moore was originally given the honour, only for a serious knee injury to strike him down one minute into his debut Test as skipper against France in Brisbane, ruling him out for the rest of 2014.
Moore has played 92 games for Australia since his debut in 2005.
