Veronica White Medal - Woman of the Year

About the Veronica White Medal

The Veronica White Medal is an award that recognises the incredible contributions that so many female rugby league players are making to their local communities and beyond. Criteria for the Veronica White Medal is in line with the Ken Stephen Medal, with the eventual female recipient having demonstrated their commitment to making a difference in their local community, whilst playing rugby league at an elite level throughout the year.

The 2024 Veronica White Medal - Woman of the Year nominees form the NRLW Community Team of the Year.

This involves recognising each Veronica White Medal – Woman of the Year nominee as part of an elite cohort for their contribution off the field to community service.

Voting will commence later in 2024.
