Captain Pat Cummins confirmed on Friday that Hazlewood would be the only new face for the Gabba, after having overcome a side strain.
His fitness comes as a massive boost to Australia with the five-Test Border-Gavaskar Trophy locked at 1-1, with allrounder Mitch Marsh also free to bowl uninhibited for the hosts.
"Josh comes back in ... had no hiccups," Cummins said.
"Had a really good bowl yesterday, had another good bowl in Adelaide a few days previous.
"Him and the medical team are super confident."
Hazlewood's return leaves Boland as the unlucky man again.
His five wickets for the match in Adelaide came in his first Test back since the 2023 Ashes, having long served as Australia's back-up quick behind the big three.

But with the final three Tests of the series to be played across a 25-day period, Cummins said he expected Boland to be used again at some point this summer.
"It's tough, he was fantastic in Adelaide," Cummins said.
"He's unfortunately spent a fair bit of time on the bench over the past 18 months. And whenever he's played, he's been fantastic.
"A shame for Scotty, but still a fair bit to play out this series. I would be surprised if he doesn't get another crack at some point."
