Support for Matt Broomham’s Recovery

Hi, my name is Brendon Hunt, and I’m the President of Wallaby RLFC. I’m reaching out on behalf of our club and wider community to support one of our own—Matt Broomham—during an incredibly difficult time.

On Sunday, 20th July, while playing for our Reserve Grade team, Matt was involved in a dangerous tackle that resulted in a serious neck injury. He was transported by ambulance to Rockhampton Hospital and later flown to Brisbane, where he is currently receiving specialist care.

Matt has sustained a fractured neck and now faces a long and challenging road to recovery, including extensive rehabilitation and ongoing medical appointments. Sadly, this also means he will be unable to work for the coming months, placing a significant financial burden on him and his family.

We’ve launched this fundraiser to help ease that burden. All donations will go directly toward:

Covering Matt’s medical and rehabilitation expenses

Supporting travel and accommodation for treatment

Assisting with living costs while Matt is unable to work

Matt is a tough competitor, a loyal teammate, and a valued member of our club and community. Now it’s our turn to rally around him. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference in helping Matt focus on his recovery without the added stress of financial hardship.

Thank you for your support, generosity, and kindness.
