Bennelong SwissWellness Cycling Team p/b Cervelo was an Australian UCI Continental cycling team focusing on road bicycle racing.

For the 2016 season the team secured the sponsorship of sports nutrition company, IsoWhey Sports.[8]

For the 2017 season the team merged with SwissWellness,[9] securing the teams immediate future after Avanti announced they would stop sponsoring the team in October 2016[10]
