About us
The AFL is Australia’s premier sporting organisation supporting a constantly evolving national competition. Our purpose is to progress the game, so everyone can share in its heritage and possibilities. We have a strong workforce presence in most States and Territories of Australia including Northern Territory, QLD, NSW / ACT, Victoria and Tasmania. As the AFL industry continues to grow and evolve at both the elite and community levels, we are focused on ensuring we attract and retain great people in both permanent and casual roles at all levels and within all areas of our industry. Importantly, we aim to reflect the communities where our game is played by recruiting locally where possible to strengthen our connection to the ‘grassroots’ of our game. We are also fortunate to have hundreds of passionate volunteers within our industry, offering their time and expertise to help grow our game. The AFL's purchase of Marvel Stadium in Docklands, Melbourne, further diversifies our workforce with more than 1000 casuals employed to make every moment matter for our fans and customers.

We recently hosted our inaugural Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Team Gathering on Wurundjeri Country. Forming part of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Employment and Engagement Strategy, the session brought together our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander team members from across Australia, to connect and strengthen this important community within the AFL. Hosted by Taryn Lee, we were welcomed by Elder Uncle Colin Hunter Jr and heard from the AFL Executive on our workplace commitment to inclusion, equality, reconciliation and allyship. Tanya Hosch inspired the group, provoking thoughts and ideas on how as an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community they can support one another, and other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across all levels of our game. The spirit of unity and resilience was inspiring, and we are proud of the strong connections and powerful conversations that took place.
