Please ensure you read the Netball WA Service Award Policy before completing the Netball WA Service Award Nomination Form below.
CRITERIA & NOMINATION FOR SERVICE AWARD
Purpose
The awarding of the SERVICE AWARD to Netball in WA is in recognition of the significant, sustained and lasting contribution to netball by an individual in Western Australia at various levels over a sustained period of time.
It should be acknowledged that Life Membership is the highest honour available for netball in Western Australia. There are individuals who will not meet the eligibility criteria for Life Membership (which is a recognition of service to Netball WA) but have provided service to netball as a sport across Western Australia. This Service Award will recognise that contribution.
It should be noted that a recipient of the Service Award may go on to become eligible for Life Membership at some time in the future.
Criteria
Significant, sustained and lasting contribution is defined as the importance and quality of work or service consistently initiated, performed or undertaken for netball in WA by a member over a period of time. Netball in WA means nominees can come from any Club/Association or directly from Netball WA.
Areas of Service
The nominee may be a volunteer or a staff member who undertakes voluntary service above and beyond their paid service.

- The intermittent contribution by a nominee over several periods of time may be taken into account when assessing a nomination;
