About Our Program
Workplay, the AFL’s industry-first athlete career development program, encourages women athletes to pursue their sporting aspirations while building professional pathways beyond the game.
Workplay supports connecting athletes to valuable employment opportunities and offers access to a suite of bespoke learning and development offerings.
We're proud to work alongside first-class facilitators and industry leaders in delivery of our program suite. Workplay programs have been designed to strengthen skills, build confidence and foster connection across the code.
Workplay reflects the AFL's commitment to investing in and supporting athlete's holistic wellbeing through optimising their off-field pursuits.
How It Works
Workplay is accessible to women athletes (current and former) across AFLW, VFLW, and elite umpiring pathways.
Workplay’s learning and development offerings are AFL-led and designed to inspire. Each offering is developed around in-demand skills and topics, ensuring high value and relevance to a broad audience.
