JETS Swimwear has expanded into Queensland with the opening of its second concept store in Brisbane, offering customers access to the entire selection of JETS products.
The Brisbane Jets are making one last effort to convince the National Rugby League they possess the financial means necessary for becoming a sustainable 17th franchise, alongside Redcliffe Dolphins and Brisbane Firehawks for this license.

Swimming club
Inner city Club with over 200 children swimming regularly hosts two Swimming meets per year and undergoes USA Swimming’s rigorous credential process, providing access to advance coaching technical information and knowledge. They pride themselves on being all inclusive as Jack Dixon from their club attended three World Down Syndrome Games representing Australia! Fundraising efforts conducted by volunteers help coaches travel with swimmers to competitions, upgrade land training equipment and facilitate Club Nights as they compete all the way up through to National Championships!
Sporting club
Sport clubs bring together like-minded kids who share similar interests to participate in an activity together, often competing in competitive events organized by volunteers. Sport clubs provide children with an ideal way to meet new people outside of school while building leadership capabilities and making lasting friendships.
The Brisbane Jets are an Australian A-League club formed through a joint venture between former Brisbane Bombers and Western Corridor consortiums. Based out of Ipswich in Queensland and playing their home games at Lang Park stadium. Furthermore, plans exist to expand into National Rugby League competition, wherein a proposed 20,000 seat stadium in North Ipswich would serve as its home ground.
The name, logo and colours of our club are inspired by the F/A-18 Hornet fighter aircraft from RAAF Base Williamtown in Sydney. Three aircraft from this fleet appear within our logo designed by local artist in collaboration with us to form our emblem.
Community club
The club prides itself on giving back to the community. Each year it hosts various community events, reaching out to communities throughout regional NSW. Furthermore, it partners with the Heart Foundation – featuring their iconic Happy Heart Mascot with vital messages regarding heart health – while welcoming Vietnam veterans each home game for coin toss and ground announcements.
Greater Bank goes beyond sponsorship of the Jets by supporting Jets:PLAY. This initiative brings players directly into local communities for free coaching clinics and friendly matches against local teams. Greater Bank also organises pre-season tours of the Jets across regional NSW which gives fans who can’t afford tickets an opportunity to experience them first hand.
This new group will meet at least three times per season to address issues and offer practical suggestions to the Club. Members were chosen following an intensive selection process which involved expressions of interest, surveys and interviews – we look forward to welcoming our newest Fan Council Members!
Expansion bid
As the National Rugby League considers expansion options in Queensland, one consortium offers an innovative blueprint for growth: Nick Livermore has spent thousands pushing forward their bid over the past decade, but while Redcliffe Dolphins and Brisbane Firehawks may boast greater cash reserves. However, Jets are supported by local, state, and federal governments – unlike their competition.
After starting their $12 million fundraising drive, the Jets hope to demonstrate to NRL Chief Executive Peter V’landys they possess enough financial muscle for inclusion as the 17th team of the competition. He will hold formal meetings with them all this week.
The Jets have developed an ambitious expansion plan, targeting families while simultaneously expanding the Brisbane Rugby League feeder teams and player numbers in the region. Furthermore, dual membership with Broncos would enhance their catchment area as this would satisfy NRL requirements for new teams without draining away fan bases of existing clubs.
