The Gold Industry Group (GIG) is proud to support Netball across Western Australia, to help underpin development of the sport from grassroots level through to the elite.

ABOUT THE PARTNERSHIP

The Gold Industry Group is backing netball in Western Australia with a commitment of more than $5.6 million over three years - the single largest investment in the sport’s 95-year history.

This partnership, established in 2019, is the first of its kind in supporting all levels of the sport across the State as the first Principal Partner of Netball WA, Elite Partner of West Coast Fever and Premier Partner of Shooting Stars, advancing both the future of WA netball and our diverse communities.

We are working together to grow all levels of the sport and in both metropolitan Perth and remote regional communities, engaging with 235,000 participants at clubs and competitions in every major town throughout the State.

The partnership is generating real benefit in our community; changing the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander girls living in some of WA’s most remote communities; empowering players across WA to take control of their netball destiny and shape their journey; supporting the growth of and increasing participation in netball; creating new talent pathways, building capacity and harnessing new opportunities; generating unique benefits and connections in the regions; elevating women’s sport at the elite level; and championing diversity and inclusion in the wider community.

Seeing the partnership as a natural fit, both Australia’s gold industry and netball have a strong commitment to diversity, inclusion, health and wellbeing.

In supporting the country’s largest female-participant sport, we are working with West Coast Fever as role models to women and girls across the State, empowering the next generation through leadership programs and creating educational pathways to help them realise their full potential. As ambassadors for our industry, they are helping to cultivate greater understanding of the gold sector, its value, opportunities and everyday connection to the communities in which netball’s participants and supporters live.

GIG members supporting the landmark partnership include Gold Fields, Northern Star Resources, St Barbara Limited, AngloGold Ashanti Australia, Gold Road Resources, Ramelius Resources and The Perth Mint.
