Financial Education & Support
Financial literacy is a key skill in assisting AFL players to achieve their lifelong personal and career goals.
The "Managing My Money" seminars are designed to provide basic financial education to allow players to make informed decisions about their finances.
The seminars are followed up with individual player meetings to ensure there are solid learning outcomes and a personally tailored budget set in place that meets the financial requirements and aspirations of the individual. In 2010,14 clubs and a total of 132 AFL players participated in the "Managing My Money" seminars.

Financial Healthchecks
Recently retired players are encouraged to undergo a Financial Healthcheck conducted by our qualified and experienced past players working in conjunction with our financial services partners Zest Wealth and the Shadforth Group.
The Financial HealthCheck not only provides an audit of an AFL player's current financial situation, it also plans for the future with AFL players receiving a two-year Cash Flow plan.
In 2010 the number of AFL players' receiving Financial Healthchecks totalled 31.
