And Cambage will also miss the early WNBA games for her US club Tulsa Shock next year to prepare with the Australian Opals for the London Olympics in July.
The 19-year-old centre, who has made a bright start to her rookie WNBA season, will be back in Australia time for the start of the WNBL on October 7.
After the WNBL finals she will join fellow WNBA star Lauren Jackson and other members of the Opals to prepare for the Olympics as a group from March.
Cambage, the WNBL's Most Valuable Player, said she had rejected a number of international offers in favour of returning to play again with Bulleen.
"After winning the grand final last year, there is nowhere else I want to be," Cambage said.
"I've been getting offers from all over the shop since I was 16 but I always knew I wanted to come back to Bulleen."
Cambage said she would have no difficulty playing a full season at home following her US season.
Bulleen has also lured back Rachel Jarry, the only other Australian drafted into the WNBA this season.
Jarry was taken by Minnesota at number 18 overall.
Cambage was the number two pick.
