LGBTQ+ Inclusion
The New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL) is committed to providing a safe, fun and inclusive environment for all people, including those of diverse sexualities and genders. Being an inclusive sport not only reflects our core values, it also reflects the diversity of our local communities.
We have a zero-tolerance to any form of bullying, harassment or vilification towards people with diverse sexualities and genders. This includes forms of homophobia, biphobia or transphobia.
We support the right of participants, officials and volunteers to dress according to their affirmed gender.
We’re passionate about helping people lead happy, healthy and active lives.
The NSWRL celebrates diversity of sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, intersex status, ability, skill, cultural background, ethnicity, location, religious or political beliefs, and life stage. There is a place in our sport for everyone, exactly as you are.
We are the game for all.
If you experience bullying or harassment, or need to report an incident please contact tedmondson@nswrl.com.au.
