Such is the importance of looking at the wider aspect of overall health and well-being in rural communities, RAW has embarked on the Beyond the Sidelines project to help rural sporting clubs build strong caring and connected club environments. The program will focus on Australian Rules Football in the first instance and expand into other sports as the program gains momentum.

Beyond the Sidelines will be an all-encompassing program and will evolve as relationships are developed with rural sporting clubs. The key messages RAW will be communicating to sporting teams will be centred around care, communication, connection and consistency. The program will have a clear focus on self-care and a team orientated approach to look after your mates.
