Through our partnership with Netball Australia, Origin’s helping deliver much needed funds to local netball clubs across the country.

Here at Origin, we’re proud to support netball at all levels – and everyone involved. From the youngest players and local club volunteers, right through to the world-class Australian Diamonds.

Over the past year, COVID-19’s had an impact on netball at all levels, from delays to the 2021 professional season, through to the cancellation of local junior competitions. This has also made fundraising more challenging than usual for local clubs in need of money and support.

So, to help make it easier for clubs to raise funds during this difficult time, Origin’s launched a special energy offer exclusive to local netball clubs.

Introducing Origin Go!

Existing or new Origin customers, with an active netball member ID, can earn up to $140 for their club if they sign up to Origin Go for both electricity and gas ($70 for electricity and $70 for gas).

It’s good energy for you and your club!

“The value of sport for local communities cannot be underestimated, and this past year has taken a toll on grassroots clubs around the country,” said Duncan Permezel, General Manager, Retail Sales and Marketing at Origin.

“We hope this offer helps provide meaningful support for local clubs by giving them some much-needed cash they can put back into the club and players”.

Netball Australia Chief Commercial Officer and Acting EGM Events, David Lee, welcomed the offer.

“Local clubs have had a particularly tough year, so it’s great to see this offer from Origin as a way members can support their clubs and netball community in a really tangible way. Whether that’s new balls, uniforms or game day activities, the injection of cash can go a long way for a club at a time when it will genuinely help,” David said.

Want to get involved?

In May this year netball players in Chinchilla, Queensland, received a boost of good energy! As part of the ‘Be an Origin Energy Diamond for a Day’ program, former Australian Diamond, Caitlyn Nevins, dropped in to surprise and inspire the young players.

Now in its second year, the program surprises local netball communities going through challenging times and supports club players to achieve through the power of sport. The Chinchilla visit included a special training session run by Caitlyn, a video call with current Origin Diamond player Cara Koenen and a surprise financial donation towards new equipment for the club.

Origin’s General Manager, Condabri Talinga Orana Asset, Alexandra Kennedy-Clark is proud that Origin is supporting grassroots netball and helping to unite regional communities in such a tangible way.

“Helping to promote a love of netball by facilitating a visit from former Origin Diamond Caitlyn and encouraging local players to do their best every day is an honour,” she said.

Watch the highlights from the day

With the Australian Diamonds having won 11 out of 13 World Championships and many other accolades, Caitlyn knows what it takes to go from regional schoolgirl in the small town of Echuca on the Victoria/New South Wales border, to Australian champion.

Caitlyn met with local netball players from across the Western Downs to run through a special coaching session, giving home grown talent a taste of what it’s like to train as an Origin Diamond.

“It’s great to be able to share the love, passion and sisterhood team spirit netball brings to regional communities and see how much enthusiasm these young players have for the game. I’m proud to be able to help inspire the players, close the gap between regional and city opportunities and play a small part in helping grow the sport by visiting Chinchilla,” Caitlyn said.

Chinchilla Netball President, Kelly Statham, thanked Origin for the wonderful opportunity on behalf of the players.

“Helping to show our players that hard work, resilience and dedication pay off and dreams really can come true is so important,” she said.

“Our players really loved meeting Caitlyn and Cara. The courts are still buzzing. I think that the good energy provided by this visit is the start of great things for Chinchilla Netball,” Kelly said.
