The Australian women's rugby league team will be paid at the same rate as the men's side at the upcoming Rugby League World Cup, with each of the 24 squad members taking home a minimum of $30,000.
As recently as last week, the Jillaroos were unsure how much they would be paid for the tournament despite readying to leave for England on October 23.
Weeks of negotiations between the Australian Rugby League Commission (ARLC) and Rugby League Players Association (RLPA) ended with a large pay increase agreed from the $3000 earned by each Jillaroos player at the most recent World Cup in 2017.
