2026 marks the10th season of partnership between HCF and GIANTS Netball, as the club celebrates its milestone season in the Suncorp Super Netball competition alongside its long-standing Principal Partner.
As Principal Partner, HCF has been aligned with the club since its inception in 2017, supporting GIANTS Netball from its earliest days and hroughout its journey in the Suncorp Super Netball (SSN) competition.
That journey has included a historic run to the Grand Final in the club's inaugural season, minor Premierships in 2018 and in 2021, and a finals campaign in 2022 that fell agonisingly short in the Preliminary Final.
Over the past ten seasons, HCF’s unwavering support has continued to fuel the GIANTS’ ambition both on and off the court, extending across New South Wales, from Western Sydney to Wagga Wagga.
GIANTS Executive General Manager, Tim Underwood, said the club was thrilled to celebrate the milestone partnership.
“HCF have been an incredibly loyal and values-aligned partner for the past ten seasons, he said.
“When they come on as Principal Partner at the very beginning they were buying into an idea and vision for the club and their ongoing support has played a vital role in the growth of our club.
“It is fair to say the strength of our initial partnership, and the values our club role models every day, has led to them expanding their commitment beyond NSW.
“We are incredibly excited to continue this journey with them.”
HCF CEO and Managing Director Lorraine Thomas said the milestone highlighted the depth of the partnership and its impact beyond elite competition.
“GIANTS was built with ambition, integrity and a strong sense of community – qualities that align closely with who we are at HCF as Australia’s largest not‑for‑profit health fund,”Ms Thomas said.
“We’re proud of what we’ve achieved together over the past ten seasons, particularly the impact this partnership has had beyond the elite level, supporting women and girls across New South Wales to stay active, connected and healthy.”
HCF’s renewed commitment sees them continue as a Principal Partner of GIANTS Netball through to 2028
