Captain Ian McBeth, 45, first officer Paul Clyde Hudson, 43, and flight engineer Rick A DeMorgan Jr, 44, were killed in New South Wales on Thursday.
The cause of the C-130 Hercules crash is not yet known.
New South Wales (NSW) Premier Gladys Berejiklian called it an "unbelievable loss" and offered a state memorial.
Officials lost contact with the plane, owned by Canadian firefighting company Coulson Aviation, shortly before 13:30 local time (02:30 GMT).
It crashed in an active fire zone in the Snowy Mountains, south of Canberra, said the NSW Rural Fire Service.
Since September, Australia has battled a bushfire crisis which has now killed at least 33 people. More than 70 bushfires are still raging across NSW alone.
