Carla Dziwoki Carla Dziwoki Bravo Management Pty Ltd Level 5, 111 Coventry Street Southbank VIC 3006 E: [email protected] P: (03) 8825 6641 (direct) Carla Dziwoki is a perennial high-achiever. She has played netball for Australia, is a well known face in the media and guides our elite Australian cricketers as National Transition and Welfare Manager for the Australian Cricketer’s Association. In 2015, Carla capped off a successful career that spanned two continents and over a decade of playing netball at an elite level. Born and bred in South Australia, Carla moved away from home to accept a scholarship with the Australian Institute of Sport at the age of 20. Dziwoki went on to play for the Queensland Firebirds in the Commonwealth Bank Trophy (premier Australian Netball League at the time). Carla went on to play in the UK for three seasons (twice for Team Northumbria, once for Leeds Carnegie) before returning to the Queensland Firebirds before having stints with NSW Swifts and the Melbourne Vixens. After shifting her focus away from the court, Carla starred on Channel Nine’s high- rating series ‘The Block‘ in 2018 with former teammate and netball champion, Bianca Chatfield. Carla was the design lead behind the pair’s stunning penthouse conversion, with judges Neale Whitaker, Darren Palmer and Shaynna Blaze describing her style as ‘sophisticated’, ‘luxurious’, and ‘flawless’. Carla’s dedication to health and fitness and her genuine interest in fashion and beauty means her followers on social media aren’t there just because she was a contestant on their favourite show, but for her personal aspirational qualities.

  • SCHOOL SPORT AUSTRALIA 12 & U and 15 & U NETBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS HISTORY the Championships Had Their Origins in the Austra
    SCHOOL SPORT AUSTRALIA 12 & U and 15 & U NETBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS HISTORY The championships had their origins in the Australian State Schools' Basketball Association developed originally for primary schools and played predominately on grass. Interstate carnivals commenced in 1923 and continued in 1924 when a number of exchanges between individual states occurred. In 1924 visiting teachers from Victoria, Queensland and South Australia to New South Wales made exhaustive inquiries into the question of girls’ games with the view to inaugurating interstate contests. In 1925 South Australia hosted New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland in both a junior and senior competition, one of the games attracted over 2000 spectators. South Australia was victorious in the junior section and South Australia and Victoria both finished in first place in the senior. This competition continued in 1926 in New South Wales and 1927 in Victoria. With the introduction of a perpetual trophy the first officially recognised Australian State Schoolgirls Basketball (Netball) Championship was played at the Practising School, Brisbane in 1928. The final, on the afternoon of the August 22nd, was before a large crowd. Victoria convincingly beat NSW 23 goals to 4 goals. Mr John Donald Howie donated the perpetual trophy following the win of Victoria. Mr Howie was a Victorian Councillor from 1922 – 1932 and Mayor of Camberwell in 1927 and 1928. Australian schoolgirls tournaments were organised to combine both a netball competition and an educational tour, When girls weren’t playing they attended lessons at the local school or made educational day trips. In Brisbane the girls visited Toowoomba, the Olympic Tyre and Rubber Works in Geebung and took a trip to the South Coast of Queensland.

INTRODUCTION This is a joint submission on behalf of the Australian Netball Players’ Association (“ANPA”) and the Australian Workers’ Union (“AWU”). We would like to thank John Kirby and Village Roadshow for their support. History of the partnership Former Australian captain Kathryn Harby-Williams founded the current ANPA in 2003. The association was created as a voice for Australia’s leading female athletes to communicate with the governing body Netball Australia. The ANPA won landmark decisions against Netball Australia on areas of restraint of trade and female rights. By 2004, the association was unable to attract sufficient funds to continue such work and thus began discussions with AWU following an approach to ANPA by AWU National Secretary Bill Shorten.
