Search for new Netball Australia CEO underway

Netball Australia Chair Wendy Archer said with more than one million participants nationally and growing, netball has deep roots in every community across the country. 

“Our Origin Diamonds are World Champions and Australia will be hosting the 2027 Netball World Cup so this is an exciting time for the sport to look forward with great anticipation,’’ Ms Archer said. 

“We are always looking to improve on and off the court to build our relationships, support our players, our clubs and grow our commercial partnerships.’’ 

Chief Executive Kelly Ryan resigned in December last year and Stacey West was appointed interim CEO. Ms West will continue to lead Netball Australia while the recruitment process is underway. 

SRI’s Jonathan Harris, who will lead the recruitment, said “Netball Australia is a major professional and participation sport of national significance.” 

"It is critical we identify a leader with exceptional stakeholder and relationship management skills who can succeed across the federated structure of the sport. Excellent strategic and commercial leadership skills are also required to deliver growth across the whole netball ecosystem.”
