FOR WEMS
Behind every thriving player
is exceptional support.
We back Wellbeing & Education Managers with professional frameworks, resources and support – so they can help players ”do more” to “be more”.
HOW WE SUPPORT CLUB WELLBEING TEAMS
League Ahead works in partnership with Wellbeing & Education Managers (WEMs) at every NRL and NRLW club to ensure contracted players receive consistent, high-quality support throughout their playing careers.
WEMs are at the frontline of player wellbeing—building trust, delivering programs, and creating safe environments where players can access the support they need. We back them with:
Professional Development – Training pathways, competency frameworks and ongoing skill development
Evidence-Based Resources – Program frameworks and delivery tools across all four strategic priorities
Quality Standards – Clear guidelines and best-practice approaches that ensure consistency across clubs
Peer Networks – Communities of practice for knowledge sharing and collaborative learning
Direct Support – Expert guidance and backing from the League Ahead team
By strengthening the capability and confidence of WEMs, we create a connected system where every player - regardless of their club - has access to world-class wellbeing support.
