Zac Stubblety-Cook took gold in the men’s 200m breaststroke and Elijah Winnington triumphed in the 400m freestyle.
Australia added gloss to their evening by winning the mixed 4x100m freestyle relay, finishing ahead of England and Canada.
Titmus, who won 200m and 400m freestyle gold at last year’s Tokyo Olympics, was away quickly and seemingly in total control of the final at the Sandwell Aquatics Centre.
But 18-year-old compatriot Mollie O’Callaghan produced a storming performance on the final 50m to miss out by just 0.12sec as Titmus touched in a new Games record of 1:53.89.
Titmus, who broke the 400m world record at the Australian championships in May, chose to skip the world championships in Budapest the following month.
