Queensland Rugby Union Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) commits our organisation to the actions required to increase our efforts and capability to support and engage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander players, coaches, referees, volunteers, their families, and communities to participate in rugby and its associated programs at the same level as other Australians. It also recognises sport’s role in assisting the general development of individuals and the opportunities we can provide to support education, employment, and leadership initiatives along with the participation opportunities we create.

At Queensland Rugby Union (QRU), our vision for reconciliation is to foster a united and inclusive rugby community that celebrates and respects the cultures, traditions, and histories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Through meaningful engagement, partnership, and education, we strive to create positive change and contribute to the reconciliation process in Australia.

Through collaboration with Indigenous stakeholders, cultural awareness training, and community engagement programs, we aim to promote reconciliation, cultural understanding, and diversity within our organization and beyond. Our RAP serves as a roadmap for building meaningful relationships, acknowledging the histories and cultures of First Nations peoples, and working towards a more equitable and harmonious society. Together with Queensland Rugby Union, we are dedicated to creating positive change and embracing the principles of reconciliation in all aspects of our operations. This also requires the ongoing education and engagement of the Queensland Rugby community, to create inclusive rugby environments for all participants, at all levels of our game, from grassroots to high performance pathways.
