She is one of 19 people selected from Victoria who will compete against 37 countries.
Ms Griffiths was released from Vaucluse Hospital in Brunswick last August after 10 weeks of chemotherapy.
A long-distance runner, she will compete in the tennis singles and doubles and the 100 m, 200 m, 3000 m and relay track races.
