A review of the National Coach Development Framework is currently underway, with a strong focus on community-level coaching, while maintaining sight of high-performance coaching environments.
Feedback on coach experiences and insights was collected in October 2026. The outcomes will guide a refreshed National Coach Development Framework, modernising Netball Australia's (NA) and NA State and Territory Member Organisations’ approach to coach development, enabling the sport to enhance how it recruits, trains, supports and retain a world-leading netball coaching workforce that delivers the right type of coaching, by the right coach, in the right environment, at the right time.
