Ash Barty is in the box seat for her third grand slam party after a clinical performance in her semi-final against Madison Keys.
The World No.1 and Ngarigo woman put in a commanding display to down the American 6-1 6-3 - meaning she has still not lost a set in the tournament.
Barty broke the American's first service game of the match and continued to dominate throughout the first set to take it 6-1.
Things slowed down in the second with both players remaining on serve until Barty again broke free to close out the match in style.
The win means the 25-year-old has a chance to extend her 100 per cent record in Grand Slam finals, after claiming the French Open in 2019 and Wimbledon last year.
She is the first Australian woman to reach the Australian Open women's singles final since 1980.
"Honestly, it's just incredible. I mean, I love this tournament, I love coming out here and playing in Australia, and as an Aussie we're exceptionally spoiled that we're a Grand Slam nation, we get to play in our backyard, and I'm just happy that I get to play my best tennis here," she said.
"I enjoy it I've done well before and now we have a chance to play for a title. It's unreal."
Barty also paid tribute to Australian of the Year Dylan Alcott, who officially retired after losing to Sam Schröder in the quad wheelchair singles final earlier in the day.
"For him to be able to share that moment with so many people here. You look around and the way that he and the Australian Open have worked together to open up opportunities for more disabled people to play tennis around the world and have a go is just exceptional," she said.
"I couldn't be more proud of him."
