Deaf Basketball Australia is committed to ensuring that our young deaf and hard of hearing basketballers have every opportunity to be part of something bigger, exciting and a pathway to achieving their personal best.


We will be sending both a National Men’s and Women’s team to the upcoming 2024 Asia Pacific Deaf Basketball Championships in Melbourne, Australia, and the 2025 Deaflympics in Tokyo, Japan. Below are the National teals under Deaf Basketball Australia:


  • Goannas - National Men’s Team
  • Geckos - National Women’s Team
  • Dingoes - U21 National Men’s team
  • Ringtails - U21 National Women’s team


We are actively recruiting new Deaf and Hard of Hearing talent across all programs. Because our national teams receive no Federal Government funding, we rely on the generous support of the general public to help our teams and programs prosper further. As such, our athletes, coaches and support staff are required to allocate extra time on top of their day to day commitments to fundraise in order to pay for training camps and to attend international deaf basketball competitions.


For our athletes, representing Australia is one of the highest honours they can achieve, no matter what challenges they have faced being deaf or hard of hearing throughout their lives. They take a lot of pride in representing their country alongside their like-minded peers because they know what it takes to work hard to achieve their best.


Donations for our program are tax deductible and your support will mean a lot to us all at Deaf Basketball Australia and our hard working team members. Please specify in the ‘Would you like your support displayed on the project page?’ comment box if you would like to make a donation to a specific National team or to DBA in general.
