An important detail missing in Super Netball's parental leave policy will be a key focus throughout the bargaining process of the next collective player agreement (CPA), which is being worked through by Netball Australia (NA) and the Australian Netball Players' Association (ANPA).
Netball has typically been lauded as a leader in women's sport and — certainly in September 2016, when NA announced its CPA for the newly vamped all-Australian netball league beginning in 2017 — it was the first team sport in the country to officially put a parental leave policy in place.
