What is Battlefields to Footy Fields?

Battlefields to Footy Fields (B2F) presented by Healthcare Australia is an NRL initiative that provides nationally recognised training for current and ex-serving ADF members and their immediate family. The program provides a great opportunity to hone newfound skills, make long lasting connections and participate in something that gives a renewed sense of belonging.

Goal

In serving the defence force, and in rugby league there is the common bond of being a member of a team. Battlefields to Footyfields provides veterans both current or ex-serving and their immediate family an opportunity to hone their newfound skills and participate in something that gives them a renewed sense of belonging.

Partnerships

Due to our lasting partnership with ADF rugby league we found it important to create a program that can help current and ex-serving veterans connect more strongly with our game. In doing so it helps create lasting and meaningful connections between defence force and civilians, their families through Rugby League. It is a fully supported program including partnerships with ADFRL, RSL Australia and Gallipoli Medical Research Foundation.
