"The bushfires that have ravaged large parts of Australia over the past few months have been truly devastating, and netball is committed to providing both immediate and sustained relief for bushfire-affected communities," she said.
"The Australian netball community has a wonderful resilience and determination. We'll do everything we can to assist both the broader Australian community and also grassroots netball-specific recovery efforts around the country."
