Are you a Club Administrator seeking an International Clearance for a rugby league Player to play in Australia?
Before you complete the form, please review the following:
What country will I be requesting an International Clearance from?
United Kingdom (UK) to Australia - is the player available in MySideline to transfer out of an "RFL (Clearance Purposes)" club? If so, please submit the clearance for processing by RFL via MySideline. If not, please submit the International Clearance Request below.
New Zealand (NZ) to Australia - is the player available in MySideline to transfer out of an "NZRL (Clearance Purposes)" club? If so, please submit the clearance for processing by NZRL via MySideline. If not, please submit the International Clearance Request below. IMPORTANT - NZRL will be on shut down from 19/12/2025 to 19/01/2026, which will affect clearance approval time frames during this period. Clearances will be approved as soon as possible on their return.
Australia to New Zealand (NZ) - Players returning to New Zealand from Australia should have their NZ club complete the form below. Further direction will then be provided for clearance processing.
All Countries other than New Zealand and the United Kingdom (UK includes England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales) will need to complete an International Clearance via the paper form. For the paper form process, Club Administrators (based in Australia) will need to work with your Association and State League to manage this request.
