The deal will run for two seasons, from 2016-17 to 2017-18.

Under the agreement, Chemist Warehouse will continue to serve as the league’s official health and beauty retailer.

The firm will also acquire title sponsorship rights to the league’s new ‘Wellness Round’, which will take place during the opening round of matches in the upcoming 2016-17 season.

In addition, Chemist Warehouse will run a host of initiatives to promote wellness amongst NBL fans.

NBL executive director Larry Kestelman said: “Chemist Warehouse has been an integral partner of the League during a period of massive strategic growth and expansion. They have supported our endeavours on and off the court and we look forward to working with them as both organisations continue to go from strength to strength.”
