Australia's leading gymnasts are on the road to redemption, with stars Jesse Moore and Kate McDonald among those eyeing gold at this year's Commonwealth Games.

Both haunted by their respective 2022 Birmingham Games campaigns, Moore and McDonald will vie for spots in Glasgow at an internal trial event in Canberra on Saturday.

More than thirty of Australia's top artistic gymnasts will compete at the AIS, with next week's Oceania Championships in Brisbane the final opportunity to push for a place.

Moore wants nothing less than a Commonwealth Games gold medal to make up for lost time, after he was forced to withdraw from the horizontal bar and all-around finals in Birmingham due to a shoulder injury.

The 23-year-old was out of action for six months following surgery, missing out on a maiden World Championship appearance in 2023 before making his Olympic debut in Paris.

In 2024, Moore became the first Australian male to reach an all-around Olympic final since Josh Jeffries at the 2012 London Games and finished 21st.

"Paris helped me realise that I can really be amongst the best guys in the world," Moore told AAP.

"(Reflecting on Birmingham) is a good motivator, actually. I'm ready for a bit of redemption.

"I want to prove that I can be up there with the top guys in the Commonwealth ... gold is my goal."

Even bars specialist McDonald still thinks about her seventh-place finish in the 2022 final.

It's a frustration that has followed her despite claiming a surprise balance beam gold ahead of teammate and Birmingham breakout star Georgia Godwin.

The 25-year-old's thirst for redemption only grew after Paris, citing her 66th-place finish in floor exercise qualifying as another motivator.

"I had a really good chance of getting gold on bars (in 2022), and I stuffed up my routine, my very first skill," McDonald told AAP.

"I just forgot why I did gymnastics, and I forgot all about that.

"After Paris, I'm certainly hungry to redeem myself on floor and then put out a good bar routine.

"If I wasn't fit and healthy, then there wouldn't be a need to redeem myself, but I feel fit and healthy, so why not?

"I feel like I've got a little bit more potential in me."

McDonald is also aiming to go one better in the team all-around, part of the silver-winning squad pipped by England in 2022.

The men's team, led by now-retired Tyson Bull, missed out on bronze by 0.650 points.

The last time Australia won team all-around gold was at the 2010 Delhi Games, with both men's and women's squads dominating the field.

Clay Mason Stephens is out to compete at a second Commonwealth Games alongside Moore, while Godwin aims to complete a full circle journey following an Achilles injury.

Heath Thorpe, the 2022 reserve, is also putting his hand up for a spot in Glasgow after missing out on a Paris Olympics berth by 0.768 points.

He's joined by teenager Tru Hagens, who finished fourth in pommel horse at last month's World Cup in Osijek - his first senior international competition.
