Who are we

Basketball Australia (BA) is the national governing body for one of the country’s fastest-growing and most-loved sports. In partnership with our State and Territory member associations, we lead, develop and promote the game from grassroots participation through to our world-class national teams - the Boomers, Opals, Rollers, Gliders and 3x3 programs.

With the launch of our new 2025–2028 Strategic Plan, our ambitious Basketball 2040 Vision, refreshed BA Values, Innovate RAP (2024–2026), and Women & Girls Strategy, BA is entering a period of significant growth and momentum. Our mission is simple and powerful: for basketball to be Everybody’s Game.

All employees are expected to role model our Values of Belonging, Safety, Leadership, Excellence & Teamwork, they are at the core of how we go about representing ourselves, how we treat each other and underpin all we do.

Safe Sport
