Reigning champion Esther Qin of Australia returns to defend her title with a new partner Brittany O'Brien. As in previous Games, nations can send more than one team to a synchronised event. Australia have entered two teams in this event.
A single round will be held, with each team making five dives. Eleven judges score each dive: three for each diver, and five for synchronisation. Only the middle score counts for each diver, with the middle three counting for synchronisation. These five scores are averaged, multiplied by 3, and multiplied by the dive's degree of difficulty to give a total dive score. The scores for each of the five dives are then aggregated to give a final score.
