Membership Information

Netball Victoria’s 2025 member registration period begins in October, ahead of many of our affiliates running summer seasons. Affiliates and participants may notice that our junior and adult membership fees will increase by $4.00 for 2025.

While we have kept the increase to a minimum, it is necessary so Netball Victoria can continue to invest in member services, and growing our great game, in the face of rising costs.

A Netball Victoria membership enables members to participate (including as a player, coach or umpire) in any Netball Victoria affiliated association or competition, or development course. 

Netball Victoria membership enables us to provide support for affiliates across vital areas including: 

• Management and administration, including tools like Netball Connect and related support 
• Governance and policy 
• Coach and umpire development and pathways 
• Player development and pathways 
• Competitions 
• Community development, including diversity and inclusion and school programs 
• Facility development support and advocacy 
• Staff located across regional and metropolitan areas to provide support, information and resources 
• Coverage under Netball Australia’s National Insurance Program 

We are proud that our fees remain lower than every other state netball organisation, and less or comparable to other sporting bodies, while we also continue to ensure that our membership delivers great value. However, Netball Victoria recognises that many members of our community are experiencing financial hardship in the current climate and is committed to ensuring our sport remains as accessible and inclusive as possible. 

The Jean Cowan Fund is available for applications to ensure financial hardship is not a barrier to participation in our sport. Funding can assist individual applicants with covering the costs associated with participating in netball, including membership fees and purchasing uniforms and equipment.
