Carla Dziwoki

Former Netball player, The Block 2018 Contestant, Media Personality and Player Transition and Partner Liaison Manager for the Australian Cricketer's Association, Carla is a constant high achiever.

Originally from South Australia, a twenty-year-old Carla left home to accept a scholarship with the Australian Institute of Sport.  She went on to play for the Queensland Firebirds in the Commonwealth Bank Trophy (formerly known as the Australian Netball League). Carla then left the Queensland Firebirds to play in the UK for three seasons, twice for Team Northumbria and once for Leeds Carnegie. She later returned to the Queensland Firebirds before having stints with the NSW Swifts and the Melbourne Vixens. 

In 2015, Carla capped off a successful sporting career that spanned two continents and over a decade playing netball at an elite level.  

After leaving the court, Carla competed on the 14th season of Channel Nine's high rating series "The Block" with former teammate and netball champion Bianca Chatfield. She was the design lead behind the pair's stunning penthouse renovation and became known for her sophisticated and luxurious style.  Together, Carla and Bianca walked away in fourth place and $310,000 in their pockets. 

As a former elite athlete, Carla is incredibly passionate about health and fitness. She prides herself on her ability to establish rapport and build trusting, meaningful relationships based on respect, empathy, and confidentiality.   She uses her first-hand knowledge of the rigours and responsibility of professional sport to support fellow athletes and help them develop their off-field skills to complement their on-field success.

Carla currently works as the Player Transition and Partner Liaison Manager for the Australian Cricketer's Association.
