It's so much more than just a chance to fight for a Women's NRL career, it's also a chance for Regan Hart to connect with her people.
While Hart came to Canberra from her birthplace of Katherine, her ancestry lies with the Kalkadoon people from the Mount Isa region.

Her selection in the Women's Indigenous All Stars, who will play the Maori All Stars in Melbourne on Friday night, not only puts her on the national stage, but has opened the door for her to learn more about her culture and her people.
NRL premiership hero Scott Prince, who is an assistant coach of the Indigenous Women, also comes from the Kalkadoon first nation and he's not only been helping her with her football, but also further opening the door on her culture as well.
"Scotty Prince is a Kalkadoon man. It's pretty cool. I've been talking to him about it and just trying to learn more about my identity and culture as well," Hart said.
"He's going to look into it as well with me because I'm still trying to find out more about it.
"My great grandma, she took off pretty young. So when we found her and tried to reconnect with her she had dementia so it's been a real struggle trying to find our identity and culture.
"I just love learning more and more about it, and meeting my people."
The "best week of her life" has also been about chasing her rugby league dream.
While she's played rugby sevens for the University of Canberra and has tried her hand at the 15-a-side game as well, Hart's true passion is rugby league.
To be even more specific - the Brisbane Broncos.
She wants to use the All Stars game to win her way onto a Women's NRL squad for the 2019 season. And if she got her way, it would be the Broncos squad.
There wasn't much opportunity to play in Darwin so this will be just her third season of rugby league, but she's already part of the NRLW development squad.
She's the utility on the bench for the Indigenous All Stars and has been training at hooker this week.
Hart's thrown herself into the contact work preparing for the role given she's never played there before and is normally a centre.
"It's still definitely the goal. I haven't had any discussions as yet, but I've always, always wanted to play for the Broncos - they're my team," she said.
"I've followed them religiously since I was two years old."
But if she had to play for someone else? "I wouldn't mind at all."
Hart will be up against Maori second-rower Tazmin Gray, sister of Canberra Raiders winger Jordan Rapana, while Raiders second-rower Joe Tapine will play for the Maori All Stars in the men's game.
