Rugby Australia chairman Cameron Clyne has declined to guarantee or clarify the position of Michael Cheika, after a presentation from the Wallabies' coach, but says a thorough review will be completed before Christmas.
Clyne came out seven hours into an unfinished Rugby Australia board meeting, but spent just 50 seconds giving a statement to the media.
He didn't answer questions despite being asked if Cheika's job was safe.
Australia won just four of 13 Tests this year, sparking speculation over whether Cheika would retain his position going into next year's World Cup.
While it's considered unlikely Cheika will be sacked, there could potentially be changes to his coaching staff.
Australia is in pool D for the 2019 World Cup with Fiji, Wales, Georgia and Uruguay.
The 2019 Rugby World Cup will be held in Japan from 20 September to 2 November 2019.
