Two First Nations teams prepare for the Koori Knockout, Australia’s largest Indigenous rugby league gathering
Squadron Energy’s Uungula Wind Farm is sponsoring two First Nations teams for the upcoming Koori Knockout, the largest Indigenous rugby league carnival in the country.
Nanima Common Connection and the Googars Rugby League Club are both preparing for the carnival, with Squadron Energy’s help reducing the costs involved in competing.
Both clubs say the Koori Knockout is about more than rugby league. It is about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people come together to celebrate culture, family, identity and connection.
Growing First Nations business creating opportunities in the Central-West Orana
From a simple goal of giving back to the Wellington community, Yindyamarra Landcare and Maintenance has grown into a thriving local business.
Yindyamarra Landcare and Maintenance provides land care, grounds maintenance and property services while creating employment opportunities for Aboriginal people.
Squadron Energy partnered with the business to deliver land care and grounds maintenance at Bellhaven, a temporary accommodation facility established to house workers during the construction of Uungula Wind Farm.
Squadron Energy steps aside to let Indigenous artwork take centre stage
Squadron Energy has been praised by the St George Illawarra Dragons for deciding to remove its logo from the club’s 2026 Indigenous jersey.
The decision to step off the jersey gives space for the artwork and the cultural story it represents.
The Dragons will wear the jersey for Indigenous Round this Sunday when they take on the Sharks.
Squadron Energy steps off jersey to let Indigenous artwork shine
Squadron Energy has made the major decision to ‘step off’ the St George Illawarra Dragons’ Indigenous jersey as a statement of cultural significance and respect for the club’s First Nations players, communities and the artwork.
It’s a decision that has never been made by any major sponsor in the history of the NRL.
