From Netball Victoria regarding Vaccinations:

What has come through loud and clear is the government’s requirement for individuals to be fully vaccinated to participate in many aspects of community life upon re opening. We encourage our members to get vaccinated (if eligible).

No further information is available currently regarding vaccinations being a requirement or a recommendation.
