Our Purpose.
Our Culture.
Our Community.
The First Nations Lorikeets Rugby Club is more than a sports club. We are a culturally safe space built to support the social, cultural, mental, and physical wellbeing of LGBTQIA+ Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Built by Mob.
Built for Mob.
The First Nations Lorikeets Rugby Club is a dedicated space advancing the social, cultural, mental, and physical health of LGBTQIA+ Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples — from the cities to regional and remote communities.
Why We
Exist.
We use rugby to reduce isolation, break down stigma, and end discrimination — and to create full, proud participation in community life, on and off the field.
Sport is the heartbeat.
Culture is the foundation.
Community is the reason.
Five Pillars.
One Movement.
To ensure our community has the space and support to thrive, FNLRC focuses on five core pillars — the foundations of everything we run, build, and stand behind.
Inclusive Sport
Culturally safe rugby programs that build connection and reduce isolation.
Holistic Support
Outreach, events, and programs that support mental health, wellbeing, and pride.
Breaking Barriers
Helping community members access opportunities and participate safely in sport and community life.
Preserving Heritage
Supporting connection to culture, customs, identity, and community.
Strong Advocacy
Advocating for safe, equitable, and non-discriminatory participation.
Culture Runs Through
Everything.
The Lorikeets are built around identity, pride, visibility, and connection to mob. The club creates space for people to show up fully — as players, community members, supporters, and leaders.
Always connected
to culture.
Always built around
community.
Always standing in
full colour.
Built for Real
Community Impact.
Off the field, FNLRC delivers cultural programs, player pathways, and safe spaces for people who deserve to be seen, supported, and proud.
Belonging
Team, sport, and chosen family — a place to feel at home.
Wellbeing
Mental, physical, and cultural health, supported together.
Opportunity
Access to kit, travel, training, and tournaments.
Visibility
Proud representation for LGBTQIA+ First Nations peoples.
Building Toward
Meanjin 2026.
Bingham Cup. Meanjin / Brisbane. August 2026. We're growing the squad, the support, and the platform — and we need players, partners, and supporters in our corner now.

Lorikeets.
