About Basketball NSW

Basketball NSW (BNSW) is the governing body for basketball in New South Wales, committed to growing participation, supporting player and coach development, and achieving excellence across all levels of the game. Guided by our BLUES values, we are dedicated to creating pathways that help every athlete, coach and official reach their potential.

The Opportunity - About You

You're an organised multitasker who genuinely enjoys the chaos of juggling schedules, spreadsheets, and stakeholder emails. You communicate clearly, follow through, and build trust easily with coaches, parents, and officials. Detail-oriented but adaptable, you're equally happy sorting team uniforms one minute and managing a coach accreditation database the next.

You bring energy and initiative to your work, balanced with calm reliability when it counts. You're just as happy drafting a newsletter as you are coordinating logistics for a state team.

Above all, you love sport and want your work to help create great experiences for the athletes, coaches, and communities who play it.
