Canberra Raiders wait on ACT chief health officer Kerryn Coleman's orders for return to NRL training

She's set to decide whether the Green Machine will get to train on the field at their $19 million centre of excellence for the very first time next week.

It was looking positive that would happen, given the Raiders can travel to Queanbeyan to train at Seiffert Oval if they don't get the green light.

The NSW government has already cleared NRL players for a return.

There are also zero cases of the coronavirus in the ACT, further strengthening the Raiders' cause.

Not only could the Raiders be training at home next week, but they could potentially be playing games at Canberra Stadium by the end of May.

The Queensland government's decision on Friday to allow NRL games to be played there opens the door for the Raiders to also play at home when the competition hopefully restarts on May 28.

Barr has already cleared the way for games to be played in the ACT - albeit without crowds.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison said it was up to each individual state and territory to decide when and how elite sport could return to training and playing following the national cabinet meeting on Friday.

He said the national cabinet would further consider a return to elite and community sport at next week's meetings.

Coleman will look over the Raiders' proposed protocols - the NRL has prepared a 40-page document full of stringent biosecurity measures - before making a decision.

The Raiders will return to training on Tuesday, with Monday set aside for a briefing on the measures.

"The ACT government will work with the Canberra Raiders over the coming days to evaluate their proposal to begin training next week," Coleman told The Canberra Times.

"We will take into consideration the specific details of the proposal, including measures to mitigate risk, as well as any regulations or exemptions in place across the border in NSW."

Raiders coach Ricky Stuart was hopeful they would get the all clear.

If they do, it will be the first time they've trained on the field at their new Braddon headquarters.

The grass was still bedding in when they first moved into the training base in March, but was ready for use the week the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the NRL.

"We're still very hopeful that the ACT government will allow us to do our physical work on the field on Tuesday for our first session of our preparation," Stuart said.

"If not, we have some contingency plans of training at Seiffert Oval and travelling to other parts of the region, such as Goulburn and Yass, to do some of our physical work."
