Club Support Coordinator - Central Highlands

Queensland Rugby Football League – Rockhampton QLD

Our Community Rugby League team are looking for an incredible individual to join their team as a Club Support Coordinator.

We need someone with an operational understanding of rugby league not just a passion for the on-field action. To us, Rugby League is more than a game. At the QRL, you’ll help unite and inspire people through lifelong engagement in Rugby League. Working from community clubs to elite level, you’ll champion this remarkable game, and its impact on Queenslanders everywhere.

What you’ll do on a day-to-day:

As our Club Support Coordinator, you’ll be responsible for building capacity in leagues, clubs, schools and communities. You’ll ensure the efficient operational delivery of Rugby League, the creation of a positive environment for players of all ages and abilities to enjoy the game, and growth in participation numbers. Success in this role is being able to:

Work closely with Clubs and community stakeholders to provide operational support, guidance, and resources that strengthen club capability, governance, and game day delivery.

Assist Clubs with strategic and operational planning, facility development, and alignment with QRL and national strategies.

Review and monitor Club Health Checks and work with Clubs to address key issues and opportunities for improvement.

Support the delivery of community events, participation programs, and development initiatives for players, coaches, and match officials to grow Rugby League participation.

Provide governance, compliance, and policy support, including monitoring accreditation and registration, assisting with legislative requirements, advising on policy or rule changes, and supporting complaint handling and child protection matters.

Promote Club achievements and initiatives through QRL and community channels, and assist with sponsorship, marketing, and grant opportunities.

Build and maintain strong relationships with Club committees, volunteers, community partners, and government stakeholders through regular engagement and representation at events and forums.

If you’re passionate about community sport, enjoy solving practical challenges, and love seeing clubs thrive, this role is for you.

What you’ll bring to the role:

Proven experience in community sport, club development, or a similar operational support role, ideally within a sporting or not-for-profit environment.

Hold a current driver's licence and be comfortable travelling regularly throughout Central Highlands, including regional and remote locations.

Strong stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to build and maintain positive relationships across Clubs and volunteers.

Demonstrated ability to support and educate volunteers, coordinate training opportunities, and foster inclusive, well-run Club environments.

Experience supporting governance and compliance processes, including strategic and operational planning, policy implementation, and regulatory requirements.

Well-developed organisational and administrative skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities, meet deadlines, and support event and program delivery.

Knowledge of grant and sponsorship processes and experience assisting community organisations to secure funding is highly regarded.

Be flexible to work outside standard business hours when required, recognising that supporting Rugby League often involves evenings, weekends and community events.
