The 32-year-old paceman, who played 27 Tests for Australia, the last in 2012, took 99 wickets.
He has played only one Sheffield Shield first-class match for Tasmania this season as he struggled to find form after returning early from England's county season, where he played for Lancashire, with a hip injury.
Hilfenhaus, a former bricklayer, told the Cricket Australia website Wednesday "I've had to make a decision with regards to my body not being able to perform at the level I'd like in four-day cricket anymore."
