The Australian Olympic Committee has given a thumbs up to its athlete accommodation for the 2012 Games after the first inspection of the Aussie quarters in London.

During a two-week visit to the UK, AOC secretary general and chief operating officer Craig Phillips paid his third visit to the Olympic village, where some 550 Australians will stay during the Games.

"This trip is the first time ... we actually got into our space," Phillips told AAP on Friday.

"It's fine. It will be very comfortable living I think. It's a very compact village as compared to the last couple so that has some advantages in terms of athletes getting around - not great distances to walk."

Mr Phillips said work is still to be completed on converting some of Australia's allocated accommodation area into administrative and medical work spaces.

In terms of location within the village, Phillips said: "we are generally happy with where we are", and added that the facilities offered at the village in some cases go above Olympic standard.

"The IOC (International Olympic Committee) has a formula of so many square metres per twin share arrangement and it meets that standard.

"So the bedrooms are as big as any other village we've been in and in terms of the bathroom ratios, the IOC has a standard of 4:1. In most cases the apartments we've got we have 3:1 ratio, so that's pretty good."

On Friday Phillips signed an agreement with a London council to use a skills training centre a short distance from Olympic park for the distribution of Australian team uniforms.

The collection of uniforms will be one of the first tasks for the athletes.

"They will arrive either from Australia or at training camps around Europe and this will effectively be their first port of call once they've checked in at the village," Phillips said.

"It's actually a key step for them in their trip into the Games because it marks their journey and the transition from being in a national team to being in the Olympic team.

"You actually do see the emotional impact it does have on athletes, which is a great positive thing."

Professional staff will manage the uniform distribution, while there is an opportunity for Australians, who will be in London at the time of the Games next year, to volunteer to help at the centre.
