Athletes excel in high-pressure environments. They’re motivated team players with valuable transferable skills and proven leadership capabilities. These qualities – continuously refined to achieve strong performance outcomes both on and off the field  – make them great candidates for a wide range of roles. 

If you have an employment opportunity suitable for an athlete’s consideration or application, Workplay can help connect you with the right talent. 

Workplay is available to all premier, major and official partner organisations of the AFL, AFLW, Marvel Stadium and Consumer Products. 

We are also open to working with brands and organisations that are not direct competitors of the partners across AFL, AFLW, Marvel Stadium and Consumer Products. 

Please submit a request to advertise by emailing  workplay@afl.com.au so the AFL can review its suitability.

As a professional network, Workplay aims to empower women athletes to thrive at every stage of their sporting and professional careers – whether during their playing or umpiring journey, or as they transition from the AFL system. 

When submitting an employment opportunity to be advertised to athletes via Workplay, please consider whether the role supports a current athlete's ability to successfully maintain dual professional and sporting commitments.  

E.g. does the role offer:  

• The ability to work remotely/ hybrid 

• Flexibility in start and end times 

• Flexibility in working days or access to leave for training/ travel/ game days 

• An ability to scale up and down working hours as athletes go in and out of season  

If the role is more suitable for a former athlete, please specify this in your request to advertise.  

Workplay are proud to work with organisations that recognise and support the commitments required for women athletes as they pursue their football aspirations. Together, we can change the game for women in sport! 

Opportunities for athlete consideration or application will be listed below as they arise.  

Each listing will include relevant details about the application process.
