About:

Alison Broadbent was born in Gosford, and began playing netball from an early age, quickly becoming a member of the Gosford representative team. Her netball career has been nothing less than stellar, becoming a state representative in 1991, and joining the Australian Under 21’s team in 1993. In 1997 Alison joined the Sydney Swifts in the National Netball League, and during her 10 years with the team the Swifts entered 6 grand finals, winning 3 championship titles. A member of the Australian Open Netball team from 2001 to 2006, Alison has a Commonwealth Games gold medal from the 2002 Manchester games, and silver from Melbourne in 2006. The Australian team also reached the finals of the 2003 World Championships, narrowly missing out on the title to long term rivals the New Zealand Silver Ferns. Now residing on the Central Coast of NSW, Alison is still heavily involved in the sporting community, serving as Board Member for the Central Coast Academy of Sport and training a new generation of netballers with an Under 12’s representative team.
