Player programs to help you thrive and grow beyond the league

The AFL Players’ Association aims to ensure that every young athlete who enters the game leaves with more education, more skills and more opportunities for a career after football. Our goal is to provide you with a range of resources and programs to assist you in achieving successful careers and lives through football.

Career and Professional

The AFL Players’ Association aims to support members in pursuing growth opportunities, identifying transferable skills, pathways, building and nurturing relationships, and navigating the steps required to explore professional development opportunities of interest.

Cultural

Over many years, the AFL Players’ Association has worked with Indigenous people to help educate the AFL industry on the unique challenges faced by Indigenous players and put support mechanisms in place to help them develop as both footballers and people.

Education and Training

The AFL Players’ Association offers a range of education support through our exclusive partnerships that allow our members to continue their growth and development throughout and beyond their career.

Financial

The AFL Players’ Association financial programs have been developed to meet the individual needs of every member and their unique circumstances, whether that be a one-on-one consultation with an AFLPA’s Financial Advisors or financial literacy education.

Mental Health

Our team takes great pride in its role as the AFL industry’s leading mental health and wellbeing program and service provider for current and past players. Our members inform us that mental health and wellbeing is an area of personal priority.

Physical Health

More than half of all Australians are not active enough, so it’s important that current and past AFL players support themselves, their families and friends and the community to incorporate more physical activity into their lives.
