EXPLORE
More Than a Rugby Club.
A Community Movement.
The Lorikeets exist to build community, identity, connection and opportunity for LGBTQIA+ Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples — using rugby as the heartbeat.
We reduce isolation, break down stigma, and create space for pride, resilience and full participation — on and off the field.
The Artwork
Behind the
Movement.
Our artwork is more than decoration — it is identity. Designed in deep purple and vivid green, it carries story, country, community and the spirit of standing together in full colour.
What We
Stand For.
Four values shape the club. They guide how we train, how we gather, and how we show up for one another and our community.
First Nations Pride
A culturally safe space rooted in identity, country and connection to mob.
Community & Belonging
Programs that support mental health, wellbeing and chosen family.
Rugby & Movement
Inclusive rugby for every body — from new players to seasoned ones.
Opportunity & Support
Pathways for travel, kit, scholarships and advocacy across the country.
Why We Run.
We run for pride. For community. For identity, connection and the next generation of mob and queer family who deserve to feel seen and safe.
This is what the Lorikeets carry onto the field — every training, every game, every gathering.
