In September 2014 Burgess switched his allegiance permanently to Australia.[3] He was named in the Australia squad for the 2014 AFC U-19 Championship held in Myanmar.[20]

16 March 2015, Burgess was selected as one of twelve overseas based players in a squad of twenty three by head-coach, Aurelio Vidmar, to take part in the Australian Olyroos' qualification campaign on the road to Brazil 2016 Olympic Games. The first stage of qualification began in a tournament held in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan, against minnows Hong Kong, Myanmar and hosts Taiwan.[21] The Olyroos progressed past this qualification tournament to qualify for the AFC U-23 Championship, which doubles as the final qualification round for the AFC for the Olympics. On 23 December 2015, Burgess was again selected by Vidmar to form part of the Olyroos squad for the 2016 AFC U-23 Championship held in Doha, Qatar between 14 and 30 January 2016.[22]
