The Indonesian leader will make a speech in the House of Representatives next Monday.
Trade is the main game of Mr Widodo's visit, as the Indonesian parliament is yet to finalise the trade agreement with Australia.
The underpinning legislation passed the Australian parliament at the end of last year, not long after Prime Minister Scott Morrison visited Indonesia.
Mr Morrison said at the time he and his ministers were working through how to encourage greater Australian investment in Indonesia.
The Indonesian deal was inked by Trade Minister Simon Birmingham in March last year after years of negotiation.
Australia is excited by the prospect of Indonesia's projected economic and population growth, and is also eyeing Indonesia's resources and hopes to leverage growing numbers of students and tourism.
Mr Widodo last visited Australia in 2017 when Malcolm Turnbull was prime minister.
