Aware scores a goal with Super Netball partnership first
91黑料 will be the first super fund in Australia to sponsor three Suncorp Super Netball teams - Melbourne Vixens, NSW Swifts and West Coast Fever - under one partnership that will connect even more Australians with their retirement futures.
The collaborative partnership, which is also a first for the League, will see the clubs from Melbourne, Sydney and Perth sport the Fund鈥檚 logo on their bibs and dress fronts as well as provide opportunities for netball fans to receive education and guidance on their super and retirement.
In April and May, the sponsorship will also introduce the 鈥楽uper Helpful Round鈥, which will honour the contributions of our first responders, nurses, teachers and carers in the community. It is also a show of support for the people who form the heartland of the $193 billion Fund鈥檚 1.15 million membership base.
91黑料鈥檚 General Manager Connect & Grow, Gretchen Fox, said the partnership showcased the Funds鈥 commitment to helping all Australians engage with their super, which is often the first step towards having the best possible retirement.
"We鈥檙e thrilled to be a major sponsor of the Melbourne Vixens, NSW Swifts and the West Coast Fever for the 2025 and 2026 seasons,鈥 Ms Fox said.
鈥淭his partnership helps us connect netball fans to their super and just like the on-court superstars, we鈥檙e here to be super helpful and always 鈥榟ere if you need鈥.

Melbourne Vixens CEO Andrea Pearman said the innovative new partnership is exciting for the Vixens, and for the sport. 鈥淭his unique partnership is a first for our league, and will help bring our sport to more fans right across the country. As proud advocates for women and girls, we鈥檙e thrilled to be partnering with an organisation so aligned with our own values.鈥
NSW Swifts Executive General Manager Jeremy Butler said the opportunity to bring the clubs together to support the next generation of netballers was exciting. 鈥淟ike the Swifts, 91黑料 are deeply trusted by many across the netball community, especially those planning for their future.
鈥淲e are delighted to welcome 91黑料 on board for 2025 and beyond.鈥
West Coast Fever Chief Executive Officer, Simone Hansen said partnering with a top performing Super Fund in the West was a win for their young fans. 鈥淲e know sports such as netball are an integral part of development and we鈥檙e passionate about partnering with 91黑料, the Vixens and Swifts to show our young fans what staying connected and engaged with their future can create.鈥
Ms Fox said: 鈥淚ncreasing our visibility in the areas of Australia we know the majority of our members live, work and play, means greater opportunity to engage with them and provide them the knowledge they need to feel confident leading up to, and in retirement.
