Williams last played in Sydney, recently named LGBTQ Out Role Model of the Year at the Australian Pride in Sport Awards.
The Aussies still remain a mathematical chance of defending their World Series title, needing to take out the Toulouse event whilst the Kiwis finish lower than ninth.
They open their campaign against Brazil on May 12 (7:50 pm AEST) before facing Ireland (May 13, 4:05 am) and hosts France (7:05 pm).
"We're about 450 days out from the Olympics, and we're taking every opportunity to simulate what our Gold Medal performances will look like," said Walsh.
"Our planning is on track and this season we've seen some excellent growth as a team, and as individuals.
"We want to win - we have coined our journey to France as our 'Touwin' campaign. We are going to Toulouse to Touwin."
As for the Men, they have made several changes, headlined by the return of James Turner.
Turner has missed the past events with injury, joined in the squad by Kye Oates.
Australia Schoolboys captain Aden Ekanayake will serve as 14th player in their quest to book their spot at the Olympics.
John Manenti's side sits in fifth, which is an automatic qualifying spot with France in fourth, holding on by a point over Samoa.
They will get a chance to face the Cape Town champions to close out their pool action on May 13 (7:59 pm), starting their campaign against Japan (May 12, 8:23 pm) and Ireland (May 13, 1:04 am).
"Having arrived in Toulouse after a great three weeks of training, the group is feeling confident and is excited for the challenge ahead," said Manenti.
"Everyone is aware of the significance of the next two tournaments and has taken that responsibility with gusto.
"We will be looking to set the standard in our Pool games against Japan, Ireland and Samoa, as we control our own destiny over the next two weekends."
The matches will be broadcasted live and on-demand via BeIN Sports and Kayo Sports
