Both are similar in the fact the person who contacts or obstructs is out of play and the opposing team gets a penalty pass.
Netball is a non-contact sport, so contact means you are touching the player or the ball while the player has the ball.
Obstruction means while defending a player with your arms up, you need to be 3 feet (0.9 metres) away from the player with a ball. If you get called for obstruction you aren't standing 0.9 metres.
