The Rugby league Player Agent Accreditation Scheme was introduced in 2005, ensuring that all agents in rugby league are registered with the scheme. Agents must abide by the schemes extensive Rules and Code of Conduct.
Only agents registered with the Rugby League Accredited Player Agent Scheme can operate in our sport and must abide by the Rules and Code of Ethics.
No club or player can negotiate or lodge with the NRL an NRL Playing Contract for registration unless at all times during the negotiations the Player was:
- self-represented or
- represented by a family member or
- represented by an NRL Accredited Agent
The NRL will not register an NRL Playing Contract if the player was represented in the negotiations of that Playing Contract by an agent who was not, at all times during those negotiations, an NRL Accredited Agent.
