After captain Steve Smith said it was likely the left-armer would return from his heel injury, Australia confirmed their team for the SCG Test.
Starc, the leading wicket-taker in the Ashes series, replaces Jackson Bird in the only change for Australia.
On a flat MCG pitch in the fourth Test, Bird finished with figures of 0-108.
Starc has taken 19 wickets at an average of 21.05 during the Ashes, helping Australia into an unassailable 3-0 series lead.
