EQUAL OPPORTUNITY

The Kangaroos strive to be the AFL’s most inclusive, accessible, and united football club. Our value of ‘Belonging’ means we embrace people from all walks of life and respect each other’s opinions and capabilities.

Diversity in all its forms is shown to improve an organisation’s ability to innovate, create, problem-solve, grow and so much more.
