The State Netball Hockey Centre is managed by the State Sport Centres Trust (SSCT) and is guided by the SSCT Act (1996). The State Sport Centres Trust was originally set up to manage and operate the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre, and upon its completion, the State Netball Hockey Centre was placed under the management of the Trust. In its current form, the Trust oversees the operation of 3 businesses, the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre (MSAC), the State Netball Hockey Centre (SNHC), and the Melbourne School of Sport and Recreation Management (MSSRM).
