Voice for Mining Family Day 2025

Overview
Voice for Mining Family Day brings together miners, their families, and Newcastle Knights fans to celebrate the important role played by both the mining industry and the Knights in the community.

In 2024 almost 25,000 people packed into Newcastle’s McDonald Jones stadium for a sensational double-header. The Newcastle Knights men’s team secured a win over the Gold Coast Titans, while the women’s squad defeated the Wests Tigers.

Voice for Mining Family Day has become a staple for the region since it began in 2013. When the Newcastle Knights wear the mining jersey, they’re representing the NSW mining community, as well as current and former players connected to mining.

A big day for the Newcastle Knights. A big day for our mining families.

Show up and Support

What’s not to love about Voice for Mining Family Day? There are fun activations for everyone to enjoy, both on and off the field, plus the buzz of excitement when crowds gather to cheer on their teams in our mining colours!

We want as many miners and their families to come along to support the Knights, celebrate our industry and have a great day!

Wear your Hi-Vis

The purpose of the day is to make a big visual statement. That’s why the Knights will wear the famous hi-vis miners jersey during the game and why it is essential that our people are ‘showing their colours’ too.

We ask miners and their families to wear their hi-vis workwear, shirts, vests, Knights mining jerseys or anything else that helps bring the colour!

It’s a big part of the fun on what will be a positive day for our mining families and the community.
