Austin will lead the Hume league club for a third season with the Crows focused heavily on signing former players.
Although they finished last this year with one victory, Austin was buoyed by the fact his side lost four matches by 16 points or less.
In a major boost for the club, it will re-introduce an under-17s side next year.
Talented centre Beck O’Connell has committed for another season as senior netball coach.
Billabong Crows have appointed a new executive with Kevin Martin taking over from Bruce Owen as president.
Tracey Fealy will be secretary with Ben Brndusic taking on the treasurer’s position.
The Crows held a crisis meeting earlier this year due to dwindling player and volunteer numbers but have bounced back well with 50 people attending their recent annual general meeting.
