Roller Derby Australia

🥳Thank you TGSS &📣we want your voice!

A huge thank you to Adelaide for once again putting on an incredible The Great Southern Slam, what an amazing weekend of derby! It was fantastic to connect with so many of you and talk all things roller derby 🛼

Following TGSS, the RDA Technical Committee Community Priorities Survey is still open!

https://forms.office.com/Pages/DesignPageV2.aspx?subpage=design&token=7e7e3d119cfb406081b5c57896bf0bb7&id=DQSIkWdsW0yxEjajBLZtrQAAAAAAAAAAAAZAALoiIL1UMTZYSUxNN1lKNVdNSlJPUkY4Vk0yNlVZVi4u&analysis=false&topview=Preview

We want to hear from skaters, officials, volunteers, leagues, and supporters about what matters most to you and where we should be focusing our efforts.

👉 Even if you’re not a SA member league, we still want to hear from you. RDA is committed to supporting the whole roller derby community across all rulesets, and your voice matters in shaping what comes next.

📌 We don’t want to assume what the community wants, we want to hear it directly from you.

🎉 We’re at The Great Southern Slam! 🎉

Come by and check out our table! We'd love to hear from all the roller derby folk so please leave a suggestion, fill out our survey, and grab a sticker while you're there. 😊

If nobody is at the table when you stop by, it’s probably because we’re out playing, supporting our teams, or watching the games. Please don’t let that stop you from checking things out and leaving us your feedback!

Support Team Indigenous Dreaming to continue creating visibility and opportunities for First Nations Skaters and Officials in the roller derby community 🫶

2026 IS AN EXCITING YEAR FOR TEAM INDIGENOUS DREAMING!

We’re coming together stronger than ever - First Nations skaters and officials from across Oceania who live on these lands known today as Australia, grounded in community, culture and deep connection to Country.

We skate with purpose - honouring our Ancestors, representing our people and creating space in a sport where our presence hasn’t always been visible.

💥 We need your help to make this year happen! 💥

Your support helps cover the real costs of coming together - travel, accommodation, and uniforms - so we can show up united, proud and unstoppable.

We are building something bigger than ourselves - creating pathways, connection and belonging for Blak and Brown skaters in Australia.

💸 Donate. Share. Back the team.

Today, on International Trans Day of Visibility, and following the recent decision by the International Olympic Committee, Roller Derby Australia want to clearly affirm our position:

Roller derby is for everyone. The community welcome athletes of all genders and identities and believe trans women have a rightful place in women’s sport across all rulesets and levels of participation.

As World Skate roller derby sits within broader governance structures, we have contacted the appropriate WS board members to seek clarity on how these developments may impact athletes.

We remain committed to inclusivity across our sport, advocating for trans and gender diverse athletes, and to working proactively on how we can uphold and express these values within broader sporting frameworks.

EDIT: we have turned off comments to keep this RDA's position not public opinion. If you would like to discuss this with us please send us a message or email

What a weekend for roller derby! 🛼🔥

RDA is keen to do a better job of sharing all the awesome things your leagues have on and we’re kicking things off with this great fundraiser event. If you’re in QLD, definitely come check it out and show your support!

Attention: future athletes of the World Skate Australian Men’s Team

TL;DR: Men’s team numbers are currently low - if you’re on the fence, please register now so we can confirm whether we can run a men’s-only tryout and send a team to Paraguay.

As we head into selection for the 2026 team this weekend, we want to be transparent - this year is looking a little different for us.

Registrations for the men’s team are low… and in-person tryout numbers are even lower. If we have enough numbers, this may mean sending a more developmental team.

If numbers remain low, we may not be able to hold a men’s-only tryout - or send a men’s team to the World Skate Games later this year.

We know life is busy, the cost of living is real, and committing to something like this is no small thing. If this year isn’t possible for you, that’s completely okay.

But if you’ve been sitting on the fence, consider this your nudge. If you’re thinking about it, now’s the time to register so we can make the best call on selections - including whether we combine in-person tryouts with the women’s, or have the numbers to send a team at all.
