Funded by the Australian Rugby League Commission (ARLC) through NSW Rugby League (NSWRL), the program helps Districts, Regions and affiliated Clubs deliver safe, compliant and thriving competitions.
The funding is distributed across three key streams:
-
Club and competition support – helping Clubs and Leagues deliver safe, well-run competitions
-
Safe environments and volunteer capability – building the skills and capability of volunteers, including assistance with infrastructure-related grant applications
-
Growth in participation and player retention – supporting initiatives that attract and retain players, particularly women and young people.
Applications are open to NSWCRLA member Districts, Regions and Associations, and to Clubs affiliated with those members.
Further information regarding Round 2, including opening and closing dates, will be announced shortly.
For further information about the Community Rugby League Growth Funding Program, please refer to the Program Guidelines.
