The Eels vs Raiders NRL Match is proud to participate this year in the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower initiative. The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower is a simple tool to help people living with disabilities that are not immediately obvious. Wearing the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower can discretely indicate to staff that the wearer may need additional help, support or time.

We invite those already participating in the initiative to wear their sunflowers to the match where our staff have completed the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Training. For anyone wanting to join the initiative Sunflower Lanyards and wristbands are available free of charge from the Sunflower booth, located just outside of the Bonson Gates (South side) at the NRL.

Sunflower wearers or their carers can approach staff identified with a Sunflower Supporter badge who have completed the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower training if they need to seek assistance or information.

NT Police and St John NT will be onsite, with first aid posts located throughout the venue.
