They say that change is as good as a holiday and in 2022 Keira Austin is making a BIG change.

Excited about the opportunity for a fresh start with room to grow and improve her game, Austin will find herself in new territory with the Melbourne Vixens as she looks to start a new chapter in her netball career.

We talk all things Netty, from her decision to leave the Giants, to the rehab of her ACL and her focus on making it on court in 2022 for her new club.

Affectionately known as 'Parmy' this young netballer is an up-and-coming GIANT of the sport, and you would be hard pressed to find someone who has as much energy and enthusiasm for life as Amy Parmenter.

A self-confessed netty-nerd, whose quick rise in the world of netball has been elevated by her infectious, positive attitude and obvious passion for the game.

As a rookie in 2019, Amy caught the eye of netball fans everywhere, being flagged as one of the most impressive youngsters the sport had seen in some time. Amy not only talks to The Netty Life about netball, but also about her 'passion project' - The Tie Dye Project - which has not only grown over the years, but also introduced her to Molly Croft, who has been an inspiration for Amy both on and off the court.

Round six threw up the league's first two-minute suspension of 2024 as Giant Jamie-Lee Price was sent to the sideline. Fever have now shot four points clear to sit at the top of the ladder, while the Lightning brought the Vixens winning streak to an end.

In the lead up to the first of a two-part First Nations Round this season we talk to Sharon Finnan-White – one of only three Indigenous Diamonds to have represented Australia throughout the team’s 85-year history and a proud Dunghutti and Gumbaynggirr woman.

We also take a look at what to expect from some of the teams when it comes to making a genuine connection with our First Nations culture in National Reconciliation Week.
