Halse had a breakthrough campaign in 2025 after debuting in 2024, becoming the youngest to do so in the gold jersey.
The fullback was one of Australia's best at the World Cup, scoring four tries in four games.
“Caitlyn is one of the most exciting young players in Australian rugby,” RA GM of Women's Rugby Jilly Collins said.
“She brings immense value to our squad, not just with her skills on the field but through the energy she embodies.
“We are delighted to have her locked in. She is a crucial part of our future as we build towards the 2029 World Cup.”
The Waratah is joined in re-signing by Waratahs teammates Lafai and Pohiva, with the trio helping the side to back-to-back Super W titles.
Lafai missed the 2025 international season after a season-ending injury in a Waratahs pre-season trial in February.
As for Pohiva, she burst onto the scene and earned her Wallaroos debut at the start of the year, going on to play eight Tests.
Fellow front-rower and 2025 debutant Amosa rounds out the quartet, emerging as a key piece of the future after her nine appearances in 2025.
“Faliki demonstrated tremendous growth in her debut year and still has so much more to offer the Wallaroos,” Collins said. “She has already proven herself to be a damaging player and she has the potential to become one of the world’s best props.
“While Atasi missed the season due to injury, she is absolutely someone we wanted to keep. She is a strong lock and we are confident she can return to her very best. We’re delighted she’s staying with the squad.
“Kat had a meteoric rise, moving from Super Rugby Women’s to the Wallaroos squad on the back of her outstanding form. She is now an exciting player we expect to be integral to the Wallaroos team in the years to come.”
