Rugby Star Announces Inland Rail's First Nations Partnerships

The Goanna Academy aims to improve mental health outcomes across Australia and particularly in regional men, youth, and First Nations people.

At the Albury event, Inland Rail announced that we are extending our partnership with the Clontarf Foundation, that provides education and training to First Nations young men, for a further two years, having started working with the organisation in 2021.

In addition, Inland Rail also announced a two-year partnership with the Stars Foundation, which provides in-school mentoring for First Nations young women, providing pathways into the construction and rail industries for young women from First Nations communities.

To help celebrate this double milestone day, Greg Inglis joined Inland Rail representatives at James Fallon High School for a Rugby League Carnival, with Clontarf Foundation students from Albury and surrounding academies taking part.

A State of Origin legend and former Kangaroo, Greg put the students through their paces with a fun training session and took the opportunity to speak about his own mental health journey.

Inland Rail staff received a tour of the respective Clontarf and Stars rooms on campus and took the opportunity to meet with students and staff.
