Healthwise

The Healthwise program takes a wholistic approach by recognising all of the factors that impact wellbeing.

About

The NRL is very aware of the responsibility it takes on for the health and wellbeing of all its players and this goes for every facet of their lives.

Alcohol

The NRL’s alcohol management strategy was developed with the help of the Australian Drug Foundation.

Concussion

Concussion is an impairment of the brain’s function occurring due to a violent shake of the brain.

Anti-Doping Policy

As a professional sportsman, you are subject to the World Anti-Doping Authority procedures.

Diet and Supplements

Most supplements are expensive and are often misused – you get better results from a healthy diet.

Illicit Drugs

It will not matter that you took the drug the night before or two nights before, if it is in your system on match day you will be banned.

Mental Health

The NRL offers a free, confidential and highly credentialed counselling service available to all players, staff and their families from all NYC, State League and NRL teams.

National Rugby League respects and honours the Traditional Custodians of the land and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and future. We acknowledge the stories, traditions and living cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples on the lands we meet, gather and play on.
