Organisational Context

Netball Queensland is a unifying leader responsible for the growth, sustainability and success of Netball. Our vision is to become a world-leading sports organisation, respected for transforming lives through netball.

Netball Queensland is a non-profit sporting organisation governed by a Board of Directors and managed by a vibrant team, currently based at Moorooka but with an imminent relocation to a new State Home of Netball at Nathan in late-2018. We are a member organisation of Netball Australia, the national body for the sport.

Our members are the affiliated netball associations from across Queensland who currently represent in excess of 300 netball clubs and over 60,000 registered players and non-playing participants.

Our ambition for the period to 2019 is to become structured, capable and resourced to optimise the access, popularity and commercialisation of netball across Queensland. We currently do this by supporting community-based players from 5 years old to adult; by running competitions from ‘Social’ to ‘Elite’ standards; by participating in national competitions for State underage teams and the Queensland Firebirds; by developing the skills of coaches, umpires, bench officials and administrators; and by ensuring that we capitalise on commercial opportunities which complement and enhance our ability to deliver all those outcomes.
