FIFA will choose the host nations for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups in Zurich on Thursday.
Australia was the first bidder for 2022 to make its final presentation to 22 executive members of soccer's world governing body, followed by South Korea, Qatar, United States and Japan.
Macpherson joined Frank Lowy, chairman of Australian's football federation, on stage after his presentation, saying it was hard to capture enthusiasm for the tournament back home.
"This is my first prize. The second prize will be the World Cup in 2022," Lowy said as he clasped Macpherson's hand.
Schiffer's appearance in Zurich in 2000 was credited with helping Germany secure the 2006 World Cup against stiff competition from Nelson Mandela-backed South Africa.
Only the United States could match the Australian bid's celebrity glitz, with actor Morgan Freeman and former President Bill Clinton in Zurich leading the American delegation.
"The world of the World Cup is the world that we want to live in," Freeman said in his trademark gravelly voice although he fluffed his lines by missing a page of his script before he introduced a video message from President Barack Obama.
"I promise you if we are successful, America will make the world proud," Obama said as he clutched a football.
Manchester United's Park Ji-Sung spoke in favour of South Korea's bid, while Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser, the wife of the Qatari ruler, lent a touch of glamour to the Middle East nation's presentation.
"A World Cup in Qatar shows it is possible to bring East and West together," she said.
Despite the fact that Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin will not be in Zurich, his country's bid will be supported by opera singer Anna Netrebko and Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich.
