Netball Australia is the peak governing body for the sport of Netball in Australia . The organisation's stated objectives for Australian netball are to achieve national and international success in competition, encourage greater participation and spectator involvement, and ensure excellence in all spheres of the sport. The precusor to Netball Australia was the All Australia Women's Basket Ball Association, founded in 1927 on the back of efforts to establish a national tournament. This body was formed by netball groups from New South Wales , Queensland , South Australia , Victoria and Western Australia , with Tasmania joining soon after and the Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory joining in 1975 and 1977 respectively. In 1970, the organisation changed its name to the All Australia Netball Association, and in 1986 it became a public company upon incorporation. Its name was changed, finally, to Netball Australia in 1993. Netball Australia is federal in structure, with affiliated associations in all Australian States and mainlaind Territories. It operates under a council consisting of two delegates from each sub-national association, and is managed by a board of directors directly accountable to the council. Aside from promoting the sport of netball, Netball Australia is responsible for determing rules and policies within Australia, and organising competition on behalf of the country. EXTERNAL LINK |
