About the Role

Reporting to the Operations Manager with day to day oversight also by the Administration Manager, you’ll be an all-rounder who plays an important role in coordinating communications, supporting competitions, and assisting with representative program operations.

  • Coordinating clear, timely communications with junior competition participants, coaches and team managers
  • Supporting junior domestic and representative programs, including registrations, compliance and fixtures
  • Administering systems such as PlayHQ and Stack TeamApp
  • Liaising with coaches, team managers and leagues on operational matters
  • Assisting with junior and senior representative game days when required
  • Supporting tryouts, presentation days, uniforms and special events
  • Working collaboratively with the MCBA operations team during peak periods

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • A genuine understanding of basketball, competitions and representative structures
  • The ability to work under pressure during peak periods, including evenings and weekends
  • Previous experience in administration (sporting organisation experience highly regarded)

Hours & Flexibility

  • Full-time role, 38 hours per week
  • Core office days: Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday (exact times by agreement)
  • Weekend work is required at times, particularly during junior representative tryouts and senior representative seasons
  • Flexibility works both ways - MCBA supports balanced hours outside peak periods

Remuneration

  • Paid in accordance with the Clerical & Administrative Grade 4 - Sporting Organisations Award

Why Join MCBA?

  • Be part of a passionate basketball community
  • Work closely with committed staff, coaches and volunteers
