Starting Seven 

The Starting Seven provides a unique opportunity to invest in the biggest participation sport in Australia for women and girls, featuring outstanding role models, an unwavering dedication to social inclusion, and a community footprint that is the envy of other sports throughout the country. 

We are deeply proud of the role netball has played, and continues to play, in the lives of millions of women and girls. Your commitment as a member of the Starting Seven initiative not only enhances the sport’s social capital, community cohesion, and upward social mobility through developing leadership in women and girls, but also ensures a thriving future for netball in Queensland.
