Caslick and Palu suffered injuries during last month's defeat to New Zealand, but are set to be fit in time for the showcase event.
As for Hoy, she has not featured yet in 2025 after a long-term knee injury derailed her season.
The Wallaroos will head to the World Cup with one of their most experienced squads in recent memory, with 17 players returning from the last campaign in New Zealand in 2022.
This includes Ashley Marsters and Trilleen Pomare, set to go to their third World Cups.
Caitlyn Halse and Waiaria Ellis are set to become the youngest ever Australians to feature at a World Cup, with Millie Boyle (19 years, 82 days) holding the record.
Meanwhile, Annabelle Codey will complete the first father-daughter duo to go to World Cups, following in her father David's (1987) footsteps.
"We are very proud of the squad and the journey the players and staff have been on for the past two years to get to this point," Yapp said in a statement.
"We have a very special group of people within this squad, diverse in culture and a range of ages and levels of experience in the game.
"A World Cup is the pinnacle event in sport and women’s rugby will showcase that in England later this month.
"We are ready to perform on the global stage and thank everyone who is supporting us on and off the field.”
"Everyone at Rugby Australia would like to wish Jo and the Wallaroos all the very best at the Rugby World Cup in England," RA CEO Phil Waugh added.
"The event promises to be the biggest ever with over 300,000 tickets sold, ensuring women's rugby continues to go from strength-to-strength as a global game.
"Jo has done a tremendous job with the team and we will be cheering them on ahead of their first pool match against Samoa on August 23."
