Netball Australia in conjunction with its State Member Organisations, is the governing body for Netball in Australia. It oversees a nationwide network of community participation programs, right through to the Suncorp Super Netball League, and its World Champion Origin Australian Diamonds National Team.

In March 2015, Netball Australia embraced its role as the nation’s leading sport for females, recognising the unique opportunity to positively impact the lives of girls and women across the country.

This vision led to the creation of the Netball Foundation, which would later be renamed The Confident Girls Foundation. The Foundation was chartered with a mission to support women and girls in achieving their full potential by improving access to education, health, leadership, and personal growth.

The Foundation is dedicated, that through its Netball platform, it is ensuring that every girl can walk confidently to school, access quality healthcare, and live free from fear or violence. By addressing barriers like financial inequality, limited leadership opportunities, isolation, gender stereotypes, and restricted access to physical activity, it is helping to break down the obstacles that hold girls back and pave the way for a more equitable future.
