Basketball is one of the most culturally diverse and inclusive sports played in Australia, which is one of the reasons why it is the second most participated team sport in the country.

As the nation’s premier competition (and one of the best leagues in the world), with a multitude of grass roots connections, our aim is to unite Australia’s varied and vast basketball communities by acting as leaders in reconciliation and societal equality.

As an organisation and as a League, we have long celebrated our values of inclusion and diversity, but have not yet sufficiently recognised, in a consistent and sustainable way, the specific contribution that Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander peoples have made to the development and success of Australian basketball, nor have we implemented sufficient programs to ensure talent identification, encouragement and development of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander peoples. As a league, we respect First Nations peoples and we are seeking to make a public commitment that can be referred to as an ongoing point of reference by our staff and stakeholders.
