About the episode
Matt Cecchin has led an extraordinary life. From humble beginnings, he has worked his way up through the ranks of the NRL over a twenty-year career – not as a player, but as a referee. In 2012, he became only the second NRL player or official to come out as gay; he has been instrumental in the ongoing work of destigmatising mental illness in the game, and now, on the eve of his new role with the NRL as a mental health welfare leader for referees and officials, he talks about where his journey’s up to; how he got here; and where he’s going next.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
