  • Joint Media Release
    Joint Media Release Commonwealth Minister for Indigenous Affairs Senator the Hon. Nigel Scullion Queensland Minister for Housing and Public Works The Hon. Mick de Brenni MP Friday 1 April 2016 Cowboys, NRL and Governments team up for North Queenslanders A new joint initiative between the North Queensland Cowboys, the National Rugby League and State and Australian Governments, will help young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders from remote areas in Queensland complete their education and find jobs. To be built on former Townsville TAFE land, NRL Cowboys House is being supported by a $9.5 million investment from the Australian Government and will provide accommodation for young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders from the beginning of the 2017 school year. Co-captain and Origin star Johnathan Thurston, with former champion fullback Matt Bowen, will be Cowboys Ambassadors for NRL Cowboys House which will be home to up to 50 students from remote areas in northern Queensland attending secondary schools in Townsville. Commonwealth Minister for Indigenous Affairs Nigel Scullion said NRL Cowboys House had been modelled on AFL Cape York House in Cairns which has operated successfully in Cairns for three years. “This new facility will provide accommodation for students from remote communities and ensure they have the best chance possible of completing high school and moving into the workforce or on to higher education,” Minister Scullion said. “The house will provide supported accommodation for male students aged 12 to 18 from remote areas so they can study in high schools throughout Townsville. “It will be home to 25 students in its first school year – 2017 – and it is planned to move to full capacity of 50 by 2018.” The $9.5 million grant was provided by the Australian Government through the National Partnership Agreement on Remote Indigenous Housing.
