Brisbane City Rollers was founded in 2008 as Australia's first open gender roller derby club. Our values of inclusion, respect & positivity, have led to us being one of the largest clubs in Australia. We create opportunities for all our members from A grade competition to rookie games, referee mentoring & even off skates roles such as officials, commentators, coaching.

Parents of our junior members receive all communication relating to their child and are added to relevant communication platforms. All of our coaches hold blue cards or blue card exemptions (for example, teachers).
