AFL SportsReady (AFL SR) has kick-started the careers of approximately 16,000 jobseekers, including over 2,500 Indigenous Australians, and supported hundreds of organisations and businesses right across Australia.

Our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander program, Warumilang, represents the support and opportunities created for Indigenous people through quality education and employment. We focus on strengthening relationships, promoting respect and creating employment and education opportunities for Indigenous people.

AFL SR is a national organisation with a head office located in Melbourne and regional offices in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Hobart, and Perth.
