About Us
The AFL works tirelessly in all states and at all levels to enhance and grow the game—from grassroots to elite. We put on the game, deliver important events, communicate with our fans, run community programs, develop coaches and umpires, collaborate with partners, delight members, support clubs and more. We are united by a common goal: to progress the game for everyone to love and connect with Australia's game.
The AFL is committed to promoting and protecting the safety and wellbeing of children and young people in our care. We undertake several screening processes to ensure this commitment is upheld, including ensuring the successful candidate holds a valid Working with Children/Vulnerable People check and a satisfactory criminal history record check.
We are an Equal Opportunity employer and believe that diversity and inclusion are important to the AFL and the communities in which we operate. Our game is for everyone, and we strive to be a workplace for everyone. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are encouraged to apply.
