Whether it's protecting your home, car, contents, or business operations, the team offers free insurance reviews and customised solutions to help clients find the right cover.

The partnership extends through to the end of 2027 and will directly support referee recognition and visibility, with branding featured on referee uniforms and ongoing promotion through Basketball Queensland’s communications channels.

Basketball Queensland’s referee program has experienced rapid growth in recent years, increasing from 2,212 active officials in 2023 to 3,373 in 2024. With more competitions, more games, and greater demand across the state, continued investment is critical to supporting this growth.

Lachlan Nuttall, Commercial and Marketing Manager at Basketball Queensland, said the support comes at a vital time.

“Our referee program has seen significant growth in recent years, and in order to resource that properly requires commercial support.”

“It’s great to partner with someone who not only understands the space, but has been part of it for years. We’re grateful to Luke and Reliable Insurance for their investment in our referee community.”

Luke Patrick, Owner of Reliable Insurance, said he was proud to give back to a community he’s been part of for many years.

“It is great to be able to give back to the sport which has provided so many friendships & opportunities for me over many years.  I look forward to assisting the development of our officials & partnering with BQ for the next few years.”
