Netball is more than a game. It is a powerful force for connection, opportunity and positive change. Every day, Netball Victoria and the Melbourne Vixens harness the power of netball to support wellbeing, empower women and girls, and strengthen communities across Victoria. 

Through our Community Support initiative, we turn the reach and impact of netball into meaningful, lasting outcomes. By helping remove financial, geographic and social barriers to participation, we create opportunities for individuals and communities to connect, belong and thrive through sport. 

Our initiative is delivered through three key pillars: 

Resilience & Recovery

Financial recovery assistance, wellbeing programs and mental health support to help our affiliates and communities rebuild, reconnect and emerge stronger following hardship or unforeseen challenges. 

Access & Opportunity

Targeted financial assistance, scholarships and inclusive pathways to help participants stay connected, develop their potential and pursue their ambitions in netball.

Community Enrichment

Experiences that bring people closer to netball, strengthen local capability and inspire the next generation through ticketing support, donations and leadership programs.
