International career
Grdić has played for the Australia national U-17 and U-20 teams through his father, former Australian soccer player Anthony Grdic.[2][3] He remains available to represent for the senior team of either Croatia or Australia.
In May 2021, he was called to the Olyroos by manager Graham Arnold in a string of friendlies preparing for the 2020 Summer Olympics, but was unused in all three friendlies as Australia were edged both by Ireland, Romania and Mexico.[4] He was not included into the final squad of the Olyroos.
