Australian Rugby League Commission assembly
The Australian Rugby League Commission (ARLC) is currently participating in an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural consciousness session as part of its monthly meeting.

“Our recreation has had a RAP in the vicinity for over a decade,” Mr. Beattie stated.
“I am very proud of the truth that we’ve got an Aboriginal lady as a member of our Commission – Megan Davis; one in every of our finest Jillaroos leads our Australian Rugby League Indigenous Council as Chair – Katrina Fanning; and we’re the first National Sporting Organisation to be element-manner thru our fourth RAP – an Elevate RAP.”
“We have a high-quality Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander following within our recreation – 12% of NRL gamers and 19% of our junior contributors hail from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds, as do heaps of our enthusiasts.
“The consultation nowadays was an amazing reminder of how important it is for First Nations peoples to maintain a sense of pleasure and inclusiveness inside rugby league.”
The Commission meeting also included an update on Round One of the 2019 NRL Telstra Premiership competition and updates on participation and the game’s price range.
