The nib Newcastle Knights are seeking host families for junior representative players from our male and female pathway programs for the 2025 season.
We have recently signed a number of young players from outside of the Newcastle region and are currently in the process of supporting their relocation to Newcastle within the next month.
We are seeking expressions of interest from any families, couples and/or individuals who are considering becoming a homestay parent.
For these young male and female players, it will be the first time they have left their family environment as they find their feet in a new area.

Ideally, we're seeking a supportive homestay environment where they are made to feel a part of the family, including mealtimes.
In return, players would be responsible for assisting with maintaining their living space and assisting the homestay family with life skill development activities such as cooking, cleaning and general maintenance.
Financial compensation to assist with rent and food is also available. Please note a current WWC check or willingness to obtain will be required.
