A woman will face court accused of defrauding a Port Stephens community sports club of more than $80,000 over five years.
Police launched an investigation into the finances of a junior Raymond Terrace rugby league club in July 2025 after "discrepancies were identified".
Officers allegedly uncovered discrepancies in the club's finances totalling $83,149 between 2020 and 2025.
Port Stephens Hunter police officers spoke with a 54-year-old woman on Friday, July 24.
The Newcastle Herald understands the woman had served as the treasurer of the Raymond Terrace Junior Rugby League Football Club.
She was issued a court attendance notice. She faces six charges of dishonestly obtaining a financial advantage by deception, or fraud offences.
The woman will face Raymond Terrace Local Court for the first time later this month.
The club has been contacted for comment.
