Proud Gamilaroi woman Krystal Dallinger's artwork will be showcased throughout the Suncorp Super Netball League's First Nations Round, which begins on Saturday.

Titled 'Gather as One', Ms Dallinger's piece will feature on a custom match ball, umpire uniforms and on the court's centre circle.

Sharing a story of togetherness, Ms Dallinger said the design represents the shared love of netball held by all those involved in the game regardless of their background.

"The story behind the design is that we all come together and share the same love for netball no matter our background or where we came from," Ms Dallinger said. 

Ms Dallinger's design features an emu, goanna and kangaroo, a recognition of Indigenous leaders past, present and emerging.

"The positioning of the animals around the circle is designed to represent the Acknowledgement to Country which begins this journey," she said.

"It is said in many ways and languages, but with every Acknowledgement we are paying respect to our Elders past, present and emerging."

Ms Dallinger said Gather as One utilises both traditional and contemporary artistic techniques by combining modern colours with culturally-inspired designs that represent her ancestors and all Indigenous peoples.

"While I used earth colours, commonly seen in ochre paintings, I also included modern bright colours. This offered a nod to the fact we're constantly dipping our toes into the modern art scene which presents a wide array of colours, stories and journeys," Ms Dallinger said.

"I added a handprint in the centre of the artwork like how it was traditionally put on the walls of caves and on rocks as a way to say, 'I was here'. I wanted to add a personal touch and used my own hand to leave my print in the world like our Elders did." 

Ms Dallinger's artwork also reflects the 2023 Reconciliation Week theme of Be a Voice for Generations, encouraging all Australians to be a voice for reconciliation in tangible ways in their everyday lives. 

All eight Super Netball teams will acknowledge their club's traditional lands by wearing uniforms designed by Indigenous artists throughout First Nations Round.

They include the Giants Netball team, who have been wearing a dress designed by Miss Dallinger since 2018.

"Going to the First Nations Round in Sydney, it's going to be a Giants home game and being the designer of the Giants dress as well as the Netball Australia design, I am just completely speechless about how much it's (her artwork) going to be exposed," she said.

"It's just going to be an unbelievable feeling that my artwork is everywhere in the stadium.

"Walking into the stadium with my mum is going to be amazing, because she doesn't actually know the extent of what's happening with this design.

"She knows little bits and pieces, but I've made sure to keep it under wraps, so she's going to be absolutely thrilled to see it," Ms Dallinger said.

Netball Australia Director Professor Cheryl Kickett-Tucker AM said she delighted to see netball celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander players, umpires and officials.

"Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have made, and will continue to make, an enormous contribution to our sport," Ms Kickett-Tucker said.

"The round sends a powerful message to young First Nations netballers dreaming of playing in the Suncorp Super Netball League and I am looking forward to seeing it grow in the years to come."

Suncorp Super Netball First Nations Round and National Reconciliation Week will be held simultaneously from May 27 to June 3.
